Experience the pinnacle of Mediterranean trekking with our 7-day Selvaggio Blu expedition. Often cited as the most difficult and rewarding hike in Italy, this journey takes you through the heart of Sardinia’s untamed east coast. Over five days of intensive trekking, you will traverse dramatic limestone cliffs, hidden canyons, and ancient forests, all while being led by two expert mountain guides who prioritize your safety during technical rope descents and cliff-side passages.
Your journey begins in Arbatax, where you will meet your guides and prepare for the adventure ahead. You will walk in the footsteps of charcoal burners and shepherds, uncovering the secrets of an ancient landscape. Highlights include the pristine shores of Cala Sisine, the wild beauty of Cala Biriola, and the breathtaking panoramic views from Pedra Longa and Punta Salinas. Every step offers a new perspective on the crystal-clear Tyrrhenian Sea.
This is more than just a hike; it is an immersion into authentic Sardinian culture. You will enjoy traditional dinners in 'cuiles' (shepherd’s huts), tasting local ingredients that define the island’s rustic culinary heritage. Nights are spent under the vast, starlit sky, fostering a true connection with nature.
