This tour takes place at the Via Ferrata di Giorré, located near the village of Cargeghe in the province of Sassari, in north-western Sardinia, Italy. The site sits within the broader Mediterranean landscape of the Sassari hinterland, a region characterised by rugged limestone formations, low macchia scrubland, and open countryside with views toward the Sardinian interior. Sassari, the second-largest city in Sardinia, lies a short drive away and serves as the primary transport hub for visitors to the area. The Cargeghe locality is off the main tourist trail, offering a quieter, more authentic Sardinian natural environment compared to the island's coastal resorts. North-western Sardinia is well connected by road from Alghero Airport (Fertilia), approximately 25 to 35 kilometres to the south-west, making the area accessible for day-trip visitors arriving by air. The via ferrata route itself ascends natural limestone cliffs typical of Sardinia's geological interior, providing a distinctly local adventure experience rooted in the island's wild upland terrain.
