Description

Day 1: Olbia
Private transfer or individual arrival in Olbia and overnight stay. After settling your luggage, take the opportunity to visit this incredible city.

Day 2: Olbia – Pattada (78 km; +/-1700 m)
Today you will get to know the most authentic part of Sardinia, crossing the Ala Mountains: endless pastures and oak forests. During the journey, you can stop in the small village of Pattada, where you will stay overnight in a cozy hotel.

Day 3: Pattada – Cala Gonone (93 km; +/-1500 m)
As you tackle some hills, immediately after Bitti, the majestic limestone massif of Supramonte will open up before your eyes. An exciting descent leads you from the mountain to the seaside village of Cala Gonone, where you will spend the night.

Day 4: Cala Gonone – Fonni (68 km; /-1700 m)
Today, cycling through olive groves and Cannonau vineyards, you will reach Oliena, a typical village of the Sardinian hinterland characterized by stone houses, wrought iron balconies and imposing wooden doors. You will then climb the slopes of the Supramonte to Orgosolo, where you will admire the famous murals that recount old social conflicts. After passing Mamoiada, you will reach a thousand meters above sea level in Fonni, where your hotel, elegantly housed in an ancient palace in the historic center, awaits you.

Day 5: Fonni – Villanovaforru (113 km; +/-1500 m)
In today's stage, you will cross the Barbagia, the heart of the island. Between the chestnut woods of Ovodda and the lush valley of Sorgono, you will reach the gentle hills of Marmilla. Cycling along quiet country roads, you will reach the agricultural village of Villanovaforru.

Day 6: Villanovaforru – Arbus (106 km; +/-1500 m)
Today you will cycle in the uncontaminated and wild environment of the Costa Verde, one of the contexts of greatest natural value in Sardinia. For the night, you will stay in a farmhouse renowned for the preparation of inviting traditional dishes.

Day 7: Arbus – Calasetta (103 km; +/-1000 m)
This stage is dedicated to Sardinia's ancient mining activity, with the fascinating abandoned mines of Ingortosu and Masua. After the enchanting cove of Cala Domestica and the suggestive Pan di Zucchero rocky outcrop, you will arrive at the surprising Nebida washery: immersed in the colors of the Mediterranean scrub, it overlooks the sea at the end of a 540-step descent. After a beautiful descent to the beach of Fontanamare, you will reach Portoscuso where a ferry will take you to the island of Carloforte, famous for red tuna fishing. From Carloforte, you will arrive in Calasetta on the island of Sant'Antioco, where you will stop in an elegant hotel for the night.

Day 8: Calasetta – Pula (95 km; +/-720 m)
The final highlight of your tour is the suggestive and wild South Coast, with its white beaches, lush nature and its imposing cliffs: Capo Malfatano with the XVI century tower and Capo Spartivento. We recommend a visit to the ancient Phoenician settlement in Nora.

Day 9: Pula
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
