Sardinians often refer to their homeland simply as “the island,” setting it apart from the “continent” of mainland Italy. A Sardinia walking holiday with SloWays invites you to explore a land with its own deeply rooted traditions and fiercely protected identity, offering an experience unlike anywhere else in Italy.
Hiking in Sardinia will lead you through ancient Nuraghic ruins and along pristine, snow-white beaches. You’ll traverse deep gorges, wander through mountaintop villages, and uncover historic mines and Tonnare (tuna fisheries) on volcanic islands. These Sardinia hiking tours reveal a place where earth and water collide, shaping the unique character of the island and its people.

It is a destination for brave-hearted explorers, and one we couldn't recommend enough.
Is Sardinia difficult to explore?
Sardinia is renowned for its beautiful sea, but it also offers several beautifully undiscovered sides to explore.
Our hiking holidays along the coast in Sardinia are a great option for less experienced walkers, though stability on uneven terrain is required.
For more challenging trails, such as those through Tiscali and Cala Gonone, prior hiking experience is recommended. We suggest carefully reviewing the trip page for the hiking tour that interests you most to ensure it suits your fitness level.
What is the best time to embark on a walking trip in Sardinia?
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) are ideal seasons for our self-guided walking holidays on this island, offering pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
November is usually mild, with warm temperatures. Summer tends to be very hot and busy, so it's not generally recommended for trekking or backpacking in Sardinia.
What kind of landscapes can I expect while hiking in Sardinia?
The type of scenery you’ll encounter depends on the Sardinia walking holiday you choose. Coastal walks on the Green Coast, in the southwestern part of the island, feature stunning sea views, quaint villages, abandoned mines, and nearby islands. On the other hand, the trails through Tiscali and Cala Gonone reveal a much wilder side of Sardinia, with canyons, mountains, and waterfalls showcasing the island’s rugged beauty. If you need assistance, our team is here to help you select the perfect itinerary.
