Unspoilt Sardinia

5 - Excellent

Anonymous

Excellent walking in an unspoilt, wild part of Sardinia. Walks are varied and interesting and reasonably hard going. If you like craggy, rocky landscapes with lots of up and down, this would suit you. Also enjoyed the cultural day visiting archeological sights, it made a good contrast and I was keen to find out more about bronze age Sardinia.

At age 75, I wasn’t entirely sure that I would be able to manage a trip of this nature; however I agreed to accompany my friend who is somewhat younger than myself and I’m delighted to say that it all turned out well. This is not a trip for anyone who would find five consecutive days of walking up the equivalent of a fair sized peak in the UK a bit too heavy an ordeal, before of course starting the Via Ferrata climb of the day, rounded off (quite often) by a final modest climb up to the summit of the mountain. Although I knew I was more than capable of managing the Via Ferrata, the walk-ins came as a bit of a shock to the system. The Via Ferrata themselves were relatively easy and, as a climber, posed few challenges. I think I would have liked them to be a little harder but was nevertheless quite happy with what we did. We were fortunate in having absolutely perfect weather for the week; had it been otherwise, it would probably have made the whole thing a rather tougher ordeal. There were seven of us in the group, four being German speakers, three English. Our excellent guide, Martin, spoke both languages fine and he communicated everything we needed to know very adequately. After each day’s activities we always visited a Gasthof for a beer or coffee and a chat which was a nice way to end. We were accommodated in Dobbiacci / Toblach - places in this part nearly always having both a German and an Italian name, which can be mildly confusing until you learn this fact. The hotel was perfectly adequate and very much what one would expect. Nicely situated about 1km on the hillside above the town, there were lovely views but nothing to do outside of the hotel other than perhaps go for a walk. I did not visit the town but there wasn’t much there, judging from our daily drive through it to get to our day’s destination. The hotel itself boasted a good sized swimming pool whose water was heated to a delicious 31 degrees. There was also a sauna and small fitness suite, neither of which I used. The food was excellent and we were allowed to make up a packed lunch from the food laid out at breakfast. It came as a bit of a shock when our guide told us that we should be down for breakfast at 6.30am, ready for a 7.30 departure, and it was a bit of a panic organising our picnic lunch as well as eating breakfast, packing our rucksack etc in the hour we had, but after a day or two I was much better organised. Although the day started early, it also finished early and on most days we were back at the hotel by around 3pm. Dinner was at 7pm and we were ready for bed by nine or ten.

Our tour was great and the guide was very knowledgeable and personable. It was nice to have just the three of us in this tour. I would recommend her and your company.
