Short Sardinia Trek including accommodation

This challenging stage begins in Oliena and follows a long route towards Dorgali, traversing the rugged foothills of the Supramonte. The path winds through olive groves and limestone ridges before opening up to spectacular views over Lago del Cedrino, one of Sardinia’s most striking natural highlights. With nearly 900 meters of both ascent and descent, the route demands stamina and sure-footedness as it crosses rocky terrain and remote valleys. The final approach to Dorgali descends gently through cultivated land and quiet paths, bringing hikers into the heart of this lively mountain town. A rewarding and demanding stage that combines raw natural beauty with panoramic lake and mountain views.

As you make your way across the Supramonte’s foothills, the wilderness becomes ever more present. The silence is broken only by the calls of birds of prey circling above and the crunch of gravel underfoot. In spring, carpets of wildflowers add splashes of color to the stark limestone landscape, while in summer the heat intensifies the scents of thyme and rosemary. Occasional shepherd trails and ancient stone shelters hint at the area’s pastoral past, offering a glimpse into Sardinia’s deep-rooted traditions. Reaching Dorgali feels especially rewarding, as the rugged isolation of the day gives way to the warmth of a welcoming town known for its crafts, wines, and genuine mountain hospitality.
