Guided Nature Trek — Southeastern Sardinia
Trekking in the Sette Fratelli Regional Park from Cagliari
A full-day loop through ancient forests, granite peaks, and one of Sardinia's most treasured wildlife sanctuaries.
Deep in the mountains of southeastern Sardinia, the Sette Fratelli Regional Park trekking experience draws hikers into a landscape shaped by granite, holm oak, and centuries of wild solitude. This guided day tour covers 10 km of signed trail with 500 meters of elevation gain, rated Easy for recreational hikers.
The park takes its name from seven rocky summits that define the skyline of this green massif. At 1,016 meters above sea level, Punta Sa Ceraxa is the highest point, and its weathered granite formations offer one of the most striking panoramas in southern Sardinia.
The loop trail passes through dense Mediterranean scrub where strawberry trees, myrtle, and phillyrea grow alongside towering holm oaks. Ancient charcoal farmyards — known locally as carbonaie — dot the route, offering tangible traces of the rural life that once shaped this forest.
Along the way, the path intersects a section of the Sentiero Italia, Italy's long-distance national trail. Wildlife sightings are common: the endemic Sardinian deer, wild boars, foxes, hedgehogs, and golden eagles are all resident species of this protected territory.
