Via Ferrata Tour on the Pan di Zucchero in Sardinia

Climb out of the Mediterranean Sea and summit an iconic rock off the coast of Sardinia! Take a traditional via ferrata route up the Pan di Zucchero and scope out the island adventures of Italy!

The Pan di Zucchero, also known as the ¨Sugar Loaf Stack,¨ is a faraglioni in the southwest of Sardinia. Located next to picturesque cliffs of ancient geoformations, it rises 133 meters out of the water, and is a fixture in the seascape off of the Masua coast.

Among the climbing routes on the rock, there is a via ferrata path – ¨The Trail of the Miners¨ – that extends up from the sea. With the use of a raft or boat, you can reach the old mooring of the racks where the ascent begins.

As we reach the well-connected levels of our via ferrata, you will have the opportunity to see the old mining tunnels that were carved out at the turn of the 20th century. Once you reach the top, you can explore the plateau in a designated  circular walking area and take in the breath-taking panoramas.

This is an absolutely gorgeous climb. The evocative views of the water and the cliffs along the coast will make this adventure truly unforgettable. On the way back down, we can descend down to the sea where the boat will be located, or we can take the via ferrata back the way we came.

My professional knowledge of Pan di Zucchero – and of via ferrata and Sardinia, as well – is an important asset to your experience. As we take on this classic via ferrata route, I will help you understand the history and culture of the region while having the time of your life!

The climb is perfect for anyone in good shape and ready to take on a climbing challenge.
