Wild Paths of Supramonte

The experience begins in Urzulei, with a 4x4 ride along an off-road track through the limestone massif of Supramonte, Sardinia’s iconic mountain range. You’ll reach an ancient shepherd’s fold built of juniper, once home to a shepherd and his flock. There, together with Giamba and Roberto, you’ll prepare and share a traditional Sardinian lunch featuring pane carasau, local cheeses, and cured meats, all paired with a glass of Cannonau. After lunch, a short 2 km walk begins across one of the island’s most scenic landscapes. The path is easy but entirely on dirt trails, so you’ll need closed shoes. You’ll pass holm oak forests and vast plateaus, cross dry canyons and trails where wild animals still graze, and reach striking landmarks like the Millenary Yew and a nearby Giant’s Tomb. The trail ends at the stunning karst pond of Pischina ’e Urthàddala, with views of Sa Giuntura and the upper entrance to Gorropu Canyon. The 4x4 will take you back to Urzulei at the end of the walk.

This experience leads into one of Sardinia’s most peaceful and untouched landscapes, where time feels slower and silence invites reflection.
