Itinerary


Day 1: Arrival day 

Transfer to the Buggerru, in the south west of the island. 

  • Accommodation: Hotel '904, B&B


Day 2: Cala Domestica (12km / 7.5 miles, 4 hours)

You start on a high! From the sleepy mining village of Buggerru, a trail rises to a limestone plateau above dramatic coastline and reaches Cala Domestica, one of the most picturesque bays of southern Sardinia. Return to the village following an inland trail through hills covered in Mediterranean macchia.

  • Accommodation: Hotel '904, B&B


Day 3: Buggerru to Fluminimaggiore (17km / 10.5 miles, 6 hours)

The longest day features some of the most rewarding sceneries of the entire week. Leave the coastline to venture inland crossing a vast mountainous area with ilex groves and some ruined buildings that bear witness to the ancient mining past of this part of Sardinia. The final descent will lead you to the Riu Savoi valley and to your accommodation, a lovely Agriturismo serving fresh local food located in the tiny hamlet of Fluminimaggiore.

  • Accommodation: Agriturismo Perdaba, B&B


Day 4: Antas (9km / 5.5 miles, 2.5 hours)

Shuttle to Antas, a suggestive Punic and Roman temple. From there your walk heads towards the caves of “Su Mannau”, where ancient Sardinian populations practised their water cults. The grottoes are a Karst complex “sculpted” 540 million years ago, and still “living”: the calcareous formations are constantly evolving. A lovely path leads back to Fluminimaggiore.

  • Accommodation: Agriturismo Rocce Bianche, B&B


Day 5: Fluminimaggiore – Sciopadroxiu (9km / 5.5 miles, 2.5 hours)

This day is dedicated to the ancient mining past of Sardinia. Following old mining trials you will reach Naracauli with the powerful and suggestive ruins of the old ore washery. Your accommodation enjoys a wonderful location overlooking the sand dunes of Piscinas.

  • Accommodation: Residence Sciopadroxiu, B&B


Day 6: Piscinas – Freedom Day (8km / 5 miles, 2 hours)

Today you are free to explore Piscinas, famous for its celebrated sand dunes, among the highest in Europe. Some dunes are covered by the Mediterranean scrub, others still alive and modelled by the Mistral, the prevailing wind in this part of the island. It is not uncommon to spot Sardinian deer coming out of the bush at sunset. 

  • Accommodation: Residence Sciopadroxiu, B&B


Day 7: Sciopadroxiu - Montevecchio (15km / 9 miles, 3.5 hours)

Hike on the old trails miners used to get to Montevecchio, formerly the biggest mining town in Sardinia. The route develops along rolling hills covered in Mediterranean vegetation that offer a spectacular scenery especially in spring time. 

  • Accommodation: Agriturismo Miniera Fiorita, B&B


Day 8: Departure Day

After breakfast, transfer to Cagliari airport

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
