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

Day 3: Pattada – Cala Gonone (93 km; +/-1500 m)
Tackle some hills, immediately after Bitti, the majestic limestone massif of Supramonte will unfold before your eyes. An enticing descent will lead you from the mountains 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 inland Sardinian village characterized by stone houses, wrought iron balconies, and imposing wooden portals. You will then ascend the slopes of Supramonte to Orgosolo, where you can admire the famous murals depicting old social conflicts. After passing Mamoiada, you will reach the thousand meters above sea level of Fonni, where your hotel awaits, elegantly built in an ancient palace in the historic center.

Day 5: Fonni – Baressa (100 km; +/-1500 m)
Today's stage will take you through Barbagia, the heart of the island. Among Ovodda's chestnut forests and the lush valley of Sorgono, you will reach the gentle hills of Marmilla. Cycling along quiet country roads, you will arrive at the village of Baressa.

Day 6: Baressa – Arbus (100 km; +/-1500 m)
Today you will cycle through the pristine and wild environment of the Costa Verde, one of Sardinia's most valuable natural areas. For the night, you will stay in a farmhouse famous for preparing inviting traditional dishes.

Day 7: Arbus – Sant'Antioco (88 km; +/-1000 m)
This stage is dedicated to the ancient mining activity of Sardinia, with the fascinating abandoned mines of Ingortosu and Masua. After the enchanting cove of Cala Domestica and the suggestive Pan di Zucchero rock, 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 descent of 540 steps. After a beautiful descent to Fontanamare beach, you will reach Portoscuso, where a ferry will take you to the island of Carloforte, famous for red tuna fishing. From Carloforte, you will reach Calasetta on the island of Sant'Antioco, where you will stay in an elegant hotel for the night.

Day 8: Sant'Antioco – Pula (98 km; +/-1100 m)
The final seal of your tour is the picturesque and wild Costa del Sud, with its white beaches, lush nature, and towering cliffs: Capo Malfatano with its 16th-century tower and Capo Spartivento. In Nora, we recommend visiting the ancient Phoenician settlement.

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.
