The extensive range of nature you’ll find on hiking and walking holidays in Sardinia is truly remarkable. The mountains to the north offer a chance for particularly gentle rambles through some of Western Europe’s most remote scenery; this terrain should be explored by any traveller with a passion for walking or hiking, especially if they also adore Italy and all it has to offer.
During our Undiscovered Sardinia holiday, your guide will lead you along a trail on the northeastern coast of the island. Taking a leisurely stroll from Cannigione along this incredible coast, you will reach high rocky outcrops, where you’ll be met by the mesmerising views of Sardinia’s highest mountains and the cliffs of the peninsula, as well as the lush countryside and the small towns spread across the Gulf of Arzachena. Along the route, you’ll discover unique trails located off the beaten path while enjoying chances to swim and relax at sandy coves and beaches.
You’ll have the opportunity to visit multiple towns, including a journey to a local market in San Pantaleo, where you can purchase traditional pottery and cheeses, and Porto Cervo, where luxury yachts dock at the charming marina. Plus, you’ll take a trip to the Maddalena archipelago for a blissful day of island-hopping in paradise.
Our Sardinia walking holidays range from Moderate to Challenging (grades 4 to 5), typically run over 7 nights, and are available both guided, in small groups of 12 to 14, and self-guided at your own pace.
