A Slow Ride to Supramonte

The experience begins in Urzulei with an e-bike ride through the rugged beauty of Supramonte to an old sheepfold. You’ll follow a scenic dirt path that winds across limestone plateaus and holm oak forests, passing grazing animals and wide, open views that stretch across Ogliastra’s Blue Zone. The electric assist allows for a smooth and relaxed pace, letting you fully take in the raw, silent charm of this landscape. Once you leave the bikes behind, a 2-km hike begins. You’ll walk through peaceful terrain to reach the Millenary Yew, a protected natural monument, and continue to a nearby Giant’s Tomb. The trail ends at the karst pond of Pischina ’e Urthàddala, with views over Sa Giuntura and the upper entrance to Gorropu Canyon. Back at the sheepfold, Giamba and Rob will treat you to a traditional aperitivo featuring local delicacies — offering a taste of Sardinia’s land, stories, and slow rhythms before the final e-bike ride back to Urzulei.

This experience takes you through a remote and peaceful corner of Sardinia, where wild nature sets the pace and every step invites a slower, more mindful rhythm. Riding through the Supramonte landscape on an e-bike, then exploring it on foot, allows you to connect with the land in a way that feels both active and meditative. The food is sourced from nearby producers, as Giamba and Rob strongly believe in sustainability. At the sheepfold, after your walk, they’ll welcome you with a traditional aperitivo and a moment of rest, sharing flavors, stories, and gestures rooted in Sardinian life. Throughout the experience, they share personal and family stories tied to the land, Sardinian traditions, and the food you enjoy together. From the cheese made by a shepherd friend to the sweets prepared by Giamba’s mother-in-law, every element connects you to a living network of relationships that define this part of Sardinia, offering a warm, human dimension to everything you see, taste, and hear.
