Winter Adventures
The winter 2019-20 looks to be dry, so many many destinations could be available!
About via ferrata it's possible to plan the Via Ferrata della Regina or the Via Ferrata di Pentumas, reached from the legendary Valle di Lanaitho.
For those who want to make multi-day treks in winter (not everyone…) it’s possible to programme the GTS (Grande Traversata del Supramonte), with its 4 days of adventure, well on the way to becoming a Sardinian classic. If you are expert walkers and love scrambling and abseiling we have a lot of possibility with ours "adventure trails"!
For each of these adventures you will find the detailed information pages with costs and links to dedicated web sites, but if you need further information, don’t hesitate to contact me using the contact form on the contact page.
Grande Traversata del Supramonte
The Grande Traversata del Supramonte is a 4-day trek, completely self-reliant, across the marvellous wild territory of the Supramonte. Four days in the wilderness during which the only man-made structures you come across (and where you will sleep) are the old shepherds’ huts "cuiles" which are used for bivvying
Via Ferrata della Regina
The Via Ferrata della Regina is suitable for expert walkers ideally with previous experience on vie ferrate.
The via ferrata is reached with a short approach along an easy path which leads under the cliff from the small and elegant village of Monteleone Rocca Doria. Just after the old spring "Funtana 'e ziu Ainzu" you find the start of the via ferrata, a steep vertical section. The via ferrata also features a Tibetan bridge.
Via Ferrata di Pentumas
S'Istrada Minore commonly known as the “Via Ferrata di Badde Pentumas” is an itinerary for expert walkers or those accompanied by a guide.
The via ferrata climbs up a succession of ledges on the right wall of the canyon, a stone’s throw from the stunning Lanaitho valley (Oliena). This truly wild setting plus the sheer scale of the surrounding environment makes this excursion very thrilling.
Codula Fuili Canyon
Codula Fuili is a small but evocative canyon which is cut into the limestone of the Golfo di Orosei, just a few km from Cala Gonone. To descend it you need to use harnesses and ropes. Although there is no water, this is a classic canyoning tour.
The conformation of this “codula” means that beginners can try out canyoning for the first time without undue stress and enjoy the really unspoiled surroundings. In some points the gorge is so narrow that you can touch both walls at the same time!
Scala Longa
Scala Longa è il nome che prende questo percorso di scrambling che si sviluppa tra le rocce del Monte Ruiu, a cavallo dei territori di Viddalba e Bortigiadas, a pochi chilometri di distanza dalla costa settentrionale dell'Isola.
Questo nuovissimo percorso di scrambling & abseiling (facile arrampicata e discese in corda) permette di godere di alcuni meravigliosi e inaspettati scorci rocciosi.
Monte Arista
(we are working on this translation, sorry)
Monte Arista è una vetta montuosa poco conosciuta che si trova tra l'abitato di Cardedu e la sua Marina, segnata in carta con la quota 447. Non lontano da questo monte si può osservare una evidente prua granitica, la cui sommità è nota con il nome di "Su cappeddu".
Questo recente percorso di scrambling & abseiling (facile arrampicata e discese in corda) permette di godere di un'ampio panorama sulla parte più meridionale di quella regione denominata Ogliastra.
