The 50 routes in this guide cover the highest, wildest
and most dramatic areas to be found on Sardinia. Set in
an area formerly proposed as a national park, highlights
include the rugged Ogliastra limestone coast and
Gennargentu granite mountains. Routes use newly-waymarked
forest tracks, traditional shepherds' paths and mule
trails through dense macchia shrubland.
A mixture of classic trails and new paths combines the
popular and little-known. Ranging in difficulty and
length (with some stepping away from well-trodden paths),
many routes begin in quaint, historic mountain villages.
Comprehensive planning information and details of
facilities along the way provide everything readers need.
