From Arbatax: 7-day trek in the Selvaggio Blu

Experience an unforgettable adventure in the heart of Sardinia with the Selvaggio Blu trek, considered the most exciting and challenging route in Italy. Along the east coast, between sheer cliffs, canyons and unspoilt forests, a wild and majestic landscape opens up that will literally take your breath away. The route takes five days to complete, led by two mountain guides who know every corner of the area, ensuring safety during rope descents and technical passages.

You will walk along the ancient mule tracks of the charcoal burners and the paths of the shepherds, exploring iconic places such as Cala Sisine, with its unspoilt beach, and Cala Biriola, surrounded by wild nature. You will also pass through scenic spots such as Pedra Longa and Punta Salinas, enjoying unique views of the crystal-clear sea and the surrounding mountains. Between stops, you can discover the authentic flavours of Sardinia: nutritious breakfasts, packed lunches and traditional dinners in shepherds' cuiles, where you can enjoy typical dishes prepared with local ingredients. If you love wild nature and authentic challenges, the Selvaggio Blu trek will give you unforgettable emotions and memories that will last forever.
