Guided Multi-Day Hike in Sardinia - Selvaggio Blu
Come and hike this spectacular coastline from Cala Gonone to Santa Maria Navarrase !
We will hike for 4 days with light day sacs sleeping in tents in campsites under the clear skies of Sardinia. The trail we take travels through large spaces and a variety of environments from steep sided limestone gorges running to the sea to plateaus of limestone and blooming mediterranean bush.
This trip is led by David Norris and Louise Chandler, International Mountain Leaders. One of the guides will be hiking with you every day, and the other will be supporting with luggage transfer, tents and logistics.
