The Selvaggio Blu is one of the most famous and spectacular trekking routes in Europe, an iconic itinerary along Sardinia’s eastern coast between Pedra Longa and the most renowned coves of the Gulf of Orosei, such as Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Sisine. This wild and remote route crosses towering limestone walls, karst plateaus, deep canyons, and stretches of Mediterranean scrub suspended above a crystal-clear sea.
Taking on the Selvaggio Blu trek with a certified Alpine Guide is the ideal choice to experience the adventure safely. The route is far more than a simple hiking trail: it includes exposed sections, short climbing passages, rope descents, complex navigation, and long stretches without resupply points. The Alpine Guide manages the technical aspects of the itinerary, ensures group safety, installs fixed ropes where needed, and selects the best variations according to weather conditions and the participants’ level.
Each day offers extraordinary views over the Gulf of Orosei, with panoramas ranging from white cliffs to the turquoise waters of the coves below. Overnight stays may take place in ancient shepherds’ shelters, in tents, or on the beach, turning the trek into a truly authentic outdoor adventure in Sardinia.
The guided Selvaggio Blu is suited to fit and experienced hikers seeking a demanding trek and a once-in-a-lifetime experience in one of the Mediterranean’s most unspoiled environments. With an Alpine Guide at your side, this journey becomes not only a physical challenge but an immersive exploration of Sardinia’s wildest and most spectacular landscapes.

The meeting point will be in Baunei. From there, depending on the type of logistics we will use, we will transfer to the accommodation where we will spend the night before the trek.
