The Selvaggio Blu hiking tour is featured among the 100 most spectacular trails in the world and is a technical and challenging hiking trail that winds along the jagged coasts of the Gulf of Orosei, between the Supramonte di Baunei and that of Dorgali, in Sardinia.

It was conceived in the '80s by two Italian climbers, who, fascinated by the wild beauty of this stretch of coast, have painstakingly covered tracts of shepherds' paths and ancient mule-mills of the late 19th century charcoal, joining them with hardly discovered paths between the limestone and the vegetation of the supramonte.
The result is an itinerary suspended on the extreme edge of a vertical cliff, which between "cale" and mule track, starting from Pedra Longa reaches Cala Sisine.

Overnight stays are in tents or small spartan constructions used by shepherds as sheep pen. Everyday, the group will be joined by the staff who will deliver breakfast, water, packed lunch and will collect the luggage which together will be delivered directly to the next site, along with the dinner.

Program details

• DAY 1: at 18:00 meeting at Santa Maria Navarrese with the Mountain Guide and equipment check. Dinner and overnight stay in hotel.

• DAY 3: PORTO CUAU – the trail is set along the cliff of Capo Monte Santo and with some particular passages descents on juniper stairs equipped by the shepherds to Bacu Tenadili.
