Donkey Trek through the Supramonte of Dorgali

Walk among century-old holm oaks, hidden caves, and panoramic views with your four-legged trail companions.

This donkey trekking experience in Dorgali takes you through the wild Suttaterra territory of the Supramonte, where ancient oak forests shade a 6-kilometer trail that rewards walkers with sweeping views of the Gulf of Orosei. Suitable for all ages, this is a rare chance to slow down and experience the Sardinian interior the way generations of locals once did.

The donkeys do more than carry the luggage. They set the pace, invite curiosity, and create a natural bond between walkers of all ages, including children, who can ride in the saddle along quieter stretches of the trail. An expert local guide accompanies the group throughout, sharing stories and knowledge about the landscape, its history, and its wildlife.

The route passes through a well-hidden cave tucked among rocks and vegetation before climbing toward Punta su Nuraghe, a panoramic summit offering broad views across the coastline. Because much of the path runs under tree canopy, the excursion remains enjoyable across all seasons.

At the end of the walk, the group stops at a traditional cuile, an ancient sheepfold, to share a lunch made entirely from local products. The meal brings the experience full circle, grounding the day in the agricultural and pastoral culture that has defined this region for centuries.
