Monte Nieddu

An adventure through granite rocks and wild nature: Monte Nieddu takes you far from the noise, into a world where only the rhythm of your steps, the wind through the holm oaks, and the wonder of discovering Gallura from its highest point truly matter.

About this experience

If you want to experience something truly unique, come with us to discover the mountain that once served as an impenetrable hideout for Sardinian bandits. Dive into natural pools and treat yourself to a breathtaking panorama!

Aboard our Land Rover Defenders, we'll take you on a journey to discover the beauty of Monte Nieddu, its crystal-clear waterfalls, and its rich wildlife and flora. Cutting through the dense Mediterranean scrubland, we reach our first stop: the Palemonti Lookout (elevation 620 metres), a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Tavolara Marine Protected Area, offering a truly breathtaking view.

Here, while breathing in the purest, most fragrant air, we'll stop to savour a fine Vermentino wine paired with traditional Sardinian dry pastries.

From there, our excursion continues to the second stop: the waterfalls and cascades of the Rio Pitrisconi. Swimwear is a must! You'll have the chance to swim in natural pools carved into the rock by the stream.

Once we leave the nature trail, we'll rest in the shade of Monte Nieddu's oak trees to enjoy an aperitif featuring traditional Gallurese products, sweets, and red wine.
If you happen to drink a little too much, no worries — we guides will drive you back home safe and sound, filled with an experience that will nourish your soul…
