Route

Stages & altitudes

Italy's hardest trek: a trackless line along the limestone cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei from Pedra Longa, over the Punta Giradili headland, past Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu and Cala Sisine to Cala Luna, with climbing, abseils and bivouacs. There are no huts and no water; most parties go with a local guide who caches water. Weather risk is heat, wind on the exposed ridges, thunderstorms, and slick rock and rockfall after rain.
