The route includes a series of abseils, with descents varying in height, some reaching up to 30 meters. The itinerary winds through a wild environment, featuring narrow sections and breathtaking views of the coast.

You follow the Bacu Padente ridge with 7 rope abseils, surrounded by a stunning and panoramic landscape. The final abseil leads directly to the sea, onto the rocks in front of the spectacular Piscine di Venere.

At the end of the route, you can choose to visit the fascinating Grotta del Fico, one of the most beautiful caves in the area.

The return involves some short climbing sections up to grade III.

For those seeking a vertical adventure in one of Sardinia’s most breathtaking locations, the Bacu Padente abseiling route is an experience not to be missed!
