Add in the island’s food and its ancient Nuragic ruins, and it makes for a rich week of walking or riding.

Where to go in Sardinia
Most of the walking and cycling is on the east of the island, around the Gulf of Orosei and the limestone mountains of the Supramonte. Trails run between Oliena and Cala Gonone, along cliff paths and down to hidden coves and beaches, while the cycling links the coast with old fishing villages and Nuragic ruins inland. The interior is wild and rugged, and the coast has some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean.
What to do in Sardinia
Walking and cycling are what bring most people here. The walking ranges from gentle coastal trails to tougher treks along the wild east coast and into the Supramonte, part of 10Adventures’ hiking tours. Cycling follows quiet roads from the coast to the villages and ruins of the interior, within the bike tours. Either way the days end with Sardinian food, from suckling pig and pane carasau to seadas drizzled with honey.
When to go to Sardinia
Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, with mild days, wildflowers or warm sea, and far fewer crowds than the peak. High summer is hot, especially inland on the longer treks, and July and August get busy on the coast. The walking and cycling season runs from around April to October, working around the heat of midsummer.
What to expect
Travel here is self-guided: you walk or ride at your own pace, with detailed route notes and GPS, your luggage moved to the next stop, and rooms booked ahead in small hotels and agriturismos. It is an easy way to reach Sardinia’s wilder corners without sorting the logistics, and it sits within 10Adventures’ wider Self-Guided Italy tours.
