Sulcis Hiking & Bike
Discover South West Sardinia with us… on foot, by bike or e-bike
Have you ever walked along the oldest coast in Italy? South West Sardinia is 570 million years old… this is the age when dinosaurs had not yet appeared and the sea was full of life.
Fossils, such as trilobites, have made it possible to date these rocks of the Iglesiente, a territory defined as an “island within an island”, thanks to the set of geological, natural and historical elements, making it unique compared to the rest of the Sardinian island.
The mining heritage distinguishes this territory, its history and its economic development is closely linked to the birth of the mines. Cities and villages owe their birth and growth to mining production, the most isolated are now abandoned, with our presence we will rediscover their history and make them less alone.
You will be able to reach these places and visit these places and the Sulcis on foot with a hiking guide duly registered in the regional register or by bike with the sports cycling guide of the Sardinia region.
