About this experience

This breathtaking hike will take you to the highest peak of Mount Gennargentu in the heart of Sardinia: Punta La Marmora.
It will be an immersive adventure, marked by silence from the moment you visit the nuragic village of Ruinas at the beginning of the trail. You will reach the height of 1834 meters through ancient scree and wild trails that smell of Mediterranean scrub, far from the distractions of daily routine, beaten paths and the whirlpools of time. All the effort will be repaid at the top, surrounded by spectacular 360-degree views stretching to the blue sea, where you will taste the products that our ancestors consumed daily as a meal.
You will live an experience where you will find precious details of past life such as silence and connection with nature, the slowness of time and the authenticity of the products.
