Nature in Sardinia
Trekking in Sardinia is made of paths through an unspoiled nature and unexplored caves, centuries-old forests and huts that are similar to the ancient Nuraghe, with a human presence limited to the traditional one of the shepherds. And all these possibilities are contained in a unique place: the Supramonte.
The Supramonte is a complex of plateaus, bordered by the river courses of Cedrino and Rio Olai. Traditionally, this complex is divided into two parts: the sea Supramonte, overlooking on the Gulf of Orosei, between the towns of Baunei and Dorgali; the mountainous Supramonte, between the towns of Oliena, Orgosolo and Urzulei. Each one offers different possibilities for trekking in Sardinia.

Nature in Sardinia
Gola di Gorroppu (Gorroppu gorge) has the power to shock visitors for a peculiar feature: the total silence. The vertical walls and the wild nature surrounding it cooperate to the legend of this canyon in the middle of the
untamed Sardinia.
There’re a lot of myths and legends about the area of
gola di Gorroppu: according to a rumor, for example, from the highest point of this place you can see the stars even during the daytime; according to another legend, during the nighttime on the sides of the gorge you can see male fern magic flowers blooming. Only the bravest can reach and pluck them.
Beyond the legends, Gorroppu gorge is a real canyon, one of the deepest of Europe, opening in the mountain range of Supramonte, created by the erosive action of the river Rio Flumineddu.
