Description
This 7-day rock climbing program in Sardinia will take you to the wildest parts of an amazing Island. Sardinia is the Mediterranean’s second largest island, only after Sicily. It’s an autonomous region of Italy, and it’s located in the western area of the Mediterranean, immediately south of Corsica, which belong to France. This program is designed to take you rock climbing in the best spots around the island. We’ll choose from incredible grey limestone formations or fantastic granite walls, and we’ll always have the beautiful turquoise sea below us.The whole trip will be done with a car, which will allow us to move freely to wherever you want to climb. So you can decide to stay in one spot for a few days or move around constantly.I usually take my client to visit Cagliari’s historic centre on the first morning, which has an amazing historic and cultural value. Then, if you want, we can go to the famous Poetto Beach for a swim, or go directly to climb in the crags of Cala Fighera. From then on it we’ll be the best rock climbing experience you’ll ever live. So send me a request to book this 7-day rock climbing program in Sardinia and get ready to lose yourself in the wildest spots of this amazing island.

Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
From Cagliari airport we’ll pick a car and go the site you chose.
Day 2: Sightseeings and limestone walls
The first morning will be devoted to visit Cagliari’s historic centre, the famous Poetto Beach for a swim and then drive to the crags of Cala Fighera. We will find great limestone, with holes and notches with concretions. The wall is not very high but the panorama and some interesting routes make it a worthy stop by.
Day 3: Domusnovas area and caves of San Giovanni
Transfer to the Domusnovas area and the caves of San Giovanni. 16 sectors await us with a number of impressive routes on great grey limestone. From drop plates to impressive overhangs on pipes. Really spoilt for choice!
Day 4: Masua
We head to Masua, famous seaside resort dominated by a beautiful sea stack called Pan di Zucchero, that will brighten the view during the climb. The Castello dell’Iride section just a few minutes from the sea has a superb rock not to be missed for anything in the world. After climbing, a dip in this wonderful sea is a must.
Day 5: Canyon of Gutturu Cardaxius
We continue our journey heading to the Canyon of Gutturu Cardaxius where you can climb on walls with holes, concretions, pipes and cracks. Sections such as Istentales, Piccolo Canyon and Banana Republic will satisfy any urge to climb. A dip in the nearby and unique Cala Domestica is a must.
Day 6: Buggerru and San Nicolò
We travel to Buggerru and San Nicolò, with their huge golden beach, where we will relax before going inland to the Muro dei Sogni or the amazing Grotta dei Nasi Lunghi, where we will climb massive stalactites.
Day 7: Departure
If the urge to climb remains, we can head to Punta Pilocca where we will find a great grey limestone on slabs or pipes and holes on vertical walls. Time flies and we must hurry back to Cagliari to catch our flight back. There is still plenty to see and experience, and we are left with the desire to return to this wonderful island as soon as possible.

Aspirant Guide
Sicily is my home, born and raised in Catania, under the beautiful Etna I have learned to ski on this incredible active Volcano. I’m a crazy rock climber since I was a boy! Passionate for adventures on big walls, with my Sicilian friends I have developed many rock climbing sectors around the island.
To follow my dream of becoming an Alpine Guide I travelled all around Europe and finally attended the course in Trentino where I spent the past 4 years. I remain quite nomad throughout the year, travelling north to south Italy working in both areas.
Contact me if you want to explore the most beautiful rock climbing spots in Sicily, organize a trekking trip on different volcanoes around the island, climb a big wall in San Vito Lo Capo, spend some days in the Dolomites ski touring and tasting great wines, Ice climbing in Piedmont, or just tell me your idea of adventure and I’ll do my best to make it happen!
