Badde Pentumas Via Ferrata
The most captivating via ferrata in the Supramonte of Orgosolo
The Badde Pentumas Via Ferrata is one of the most spectacular via ferrata routes in Sardinia and offers an unforgettable experience for those who love adventure, technical trekking, and the wild environments of the Supramonte. The route develops inside a deep and impressive canyon, characterized by high limestone walls and an atmosphere that reflects the most authentic spirit of Sardinian mountain landscapes.
MEETING POINT AND APPROACH
We meet at the parking area of the Su Gologone Spring, from where we continue by car for about 30 minutes. The excursion starts with an approach hike through forests, rocky terrain, and panoramic viewpoints typical of the Orgosolo area. From the very beginning, you can feel the wild beauty of the Badde Pentumas valley, a remote place that preserves the natural charm of the Ogliastra and Barbagia mountains.
ITINERARY DESCRIPTION
The Badde Pentumas Via Ferrata follows exposed ledges and vertical sections connected by metal ladders and rungs, offering continuous variations and a complete, engaging experience. The most iconic stretch, known as “The Vertical”, is a steep and direct section that adds excitement to the route without making it excessively difficult.
This itinerary is ideal for fit hikers and for those who have already tried other via ferratas, but it is also suitable for motivated beginners when accompanied by a UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide.
The ferrata develops inside a spectacular canyon carved over time by water and erosion. The tall, narrow walls, the light filtering from above, the deep silence of the Supramonte, and the rich vegetation make this one of the most evocative via ferratas in Sardinia. It is the perfect choice for anyone seeking an experience that combines nature, adrenaline, and breathtaking views.
