Monte Limbara is one of the most captivating places in the hinterland of north-eastern Sardinia. This imposing mountain massif, which forms the natural boundary between Gallura and Logudoro, offers spectacular scenery among cork oak forests, wind-sculpted granite formations and trails surrounded by Mediterranean scrub.

Its highest peak, Punta Balistreri, reaches an altitude of 1,359 metres and offers an extraordinary view that, on the clearest days, stretches across much of Gallura, the sea and the La Maddalena Archipelago.

This experience is ideal for anyone wishing to discover the most authentic side of Sardinia, surrounded by unspoilt nature, silence and landscapes of rare beauty.

Monte Limbara extends across the municipalities of Tempio Pausania, Calangianus, Berchidda and Oschiri, making it one of the most fascinating destinations for trekking and nature enthusiasts.

Hidden in the heart of the Supramonte, the Nuragic Village of Tiscali is one of Sardinia’s most fascinating and mysterious places. Reached along a scenic trekking route, the site lies inside an enormous karst sinkhole, a natural cavity that still preserves the remains of an ancient settlement perfectly integrated into the mountain.

Built during the Nuragic Age and later inhabited during the Roman period, the village is an extraordinary testimony to the island’s ancient history. According to scholars, the area may have been inhabited as early as the Pre-Nuragic period, making Tiscali one of Sardinia’s most significant archaeological sites.

Walking among the ancient stone huts, immersed in the silence of nature, is a unique experience where archaeology, landscape and legend come together in a timeless place.

Considered one of Europe’s most spectacular canyons, Gorropu Gorge is an extraordinary natural monument carved into the heart of the Supramonte. Its imposing limestone walls, which in some places rise more than 500 metres, narrow to just a few metres apart, creating an exceptionally dramatic landscape.

Formed over thousands of years by the erosive action of the Rio Flumineddu, the gorge marks the natural boundary between the territories of Orgosolo and Urzulei. Today, it is one of Sardinia’s most captivating destinations for trekking and unspoilt nature enthusiasts.

Walking between its towering walls means immersing yourself in a unique environment, where silence, the power of the rock and the light filtering down from above create an intense and unforgettable experience. Gorropu Gorge also preserves remarkable biodiversity and is home to numerous endemic Sardinian species, including the rare Gorropu columbine, also known as Aquilegia nuragica.

It is the perfect place for anyone wishing to enjoy a trekking experience away from the busiest routes, surrounded by spectacular scenery and an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna.

Sette Fratelli Regional Park is also one of the most important habitats of the Sardinian deer, an iconic species of the island, together with many other protected animals that find refuge in this wild and perfectly preserved environment.

Walking along the park’s trails means discovering a quiet and authentic Sardinia, where every route offers panoramic views, intense scents and a profound connection with nature.

In the heart of the Sulcis Mountains lies Is Cannoneris Forest Park, a natural area of exceptional value that is home to Europe’s largest holm oak forest.

The forest extends across the territories of Domus de Maria, Pula, Santadi and Teulada, offering itineraries through one of Sardinia’s richest areas in terms of biodiversity.
