What to expect
The classic Selvaggio Blu (Wild Blue) is a hiking trail that runs from south to north along the east coast of Sardinia. In recent decades it has been walked by many groups. For this reason, we walk the "Selvaggio" from north to south, so we hardly meet any people and experience seven days of unforgettable adventure through picturesque bays, spectacular grottos, impressive abseils (approx. 20 times), mystical forests and the ancient pastoral paths of the Italian maquis. Sleeping in the wilderness under a clear starry sky, socialising with like-minded people and pushing your personal boundaries are moments that you are guaranteed to remember long after your time at Selvaggio Blu.
Highlights:
- Exciting abseils up to 70m
- Crawling belt
- Fish dinner Cala Sisine or Santa Maria
- Traditional dinner at Ovile Bertarelli
- Unforgettable evenings on unique beaches
- Comfortable inflatable sleeping mat as a gift from alpinist.it

Program:
The program can change depending on the weather and conditions in the sea (sometimes no supplies from the sea possible).
| Day 1 | Coile Piddi to Cala SisineLet's go: Start of the adventure - Strada Longa Day 1 begins with a descent through a valley characterised by striking rocks and old trees along the so-called Strada Longa to Cala Sisine and the Sucoile restaurant. After a well-earned dip in the sea at Cala Sisine, an original Italian fish menu awaits us. We spend our first night in our sleeping bags in the covered area at Giovanni's and enjoy brioche and cappuccino in the restaurant the next morning. During our stay, our superfluous and excessively heavy luggage is taken to the flats in Santa Maria Navarra. |
| Day 2 | Cala Sisine - Cala Biriola - Camping OlolbissiLong Abseils and exciting climbing routes Day 2 starts with a climbing route that leads to the first short abseil of around seven to eight metres. We then follow the climbing route and this time abseil down around 30 metres. After a short traverse, a 55 metre high abseil awaits us, followed by a 50 metre high abseil that leads us directly to the beach in Biriola. After a refreshing swim in the sea, we hike inland to the Ololbissi campsite. Those who wish can finally enjoy a well-deserved shower ;-) |
| Day 3 | Sette Calate - Grotta del Fico - Cala MudaloruProgram: Mysterious caves, astonishing fjords and hikes through unspoilt nature. After a relaxing night at the campsite, the Sette Calate await us: seven abseils, which are connected after the third descent by traversing a cave. Get ready for a surprise! We then reach the Grotta del Fico. After visiting the Grotta del Fico, we either continue our hike to Cala Mudaloru — depending on the time — or we head directly to a beach where, hopefully, there are as few other groups as possible that evening. |
| Day 4 | Mudaloru to MarioluMotto of the day: Change of perspective - crouching and crawling through rock holes and ribbons. In the morning, we take a boat to Mudaloru. After about an hour’s ascent, we cross several exposed trekking sections secured with ropes. Next comes a short crawling passage that leads onto a narrow rock ledge. From there, we continue to Cala Mariolu, which we reach via two exposed abseils. Just above the Mariolu beach, we set up our camp and spend the night in tents. |
| Day 5 | Mariolu to Ovile BertarelliA packed agenda: hiking, climbing, abseiling and picturesque beaches We start the day with a hiking trail featuring five switchbacks, a few crossings, and a 60-meter abseil — or, alternatively, a via ferrata option. Following a natural staircase and some exposed sections, we arrive at Cala Goloritzé. After spending a few relaxing hours swimming, we continue for about two hours to Ovile Bertarelli, where we enjoy a traditional Sardinian dinner. |
| Day 6 | Ovile Bertarelli to Pedra LongaHighlight: Off-road adventure with spectacular abseils – pure adrenaline. Vom Ovile Bertarelli gelangen wir nach eineinhalb Stunden zum klassischen Selvaggio Blu -Weg. Diesen verlassen wir aber bald und steigen zur Punta Griardili. Dort erwarten uns mit einer Länge von 70 Metern der längsten Abseiler der Tour. Direkt zum Wanderweg abgeseilt erreichen wir den Pedra Longa. Als Abschluss steigen wir gemeinsam auf die Pedra Longa. Von dort werden wir per Boot nach Santa Maria gebracht. Bei einem gemeinsamen Abendessen in Baunei lassen wir unsere Tour gemütlich ausklingen. |
| Day 7 | Return Journey – ConclusionRelaxation in Santa Maria Navarrese After a shared breakfast, we can pack our luggage for the journey home or onward travel. Depending on the travel schedule, this day is at the participants’ leisure. |
