Selvaggio Blu in Sardinia – Discover the trek
Tour details
Everybody talks about it: hiking enthusiasts and outdoor people, in trade magazines and through the pages of the New York Times. The Selvaggio Blu (“wild blue”) represents today the top for those who love mountain, an incredible opportunity so close to home, for those who are looking for a real adventure, a few days getaway from reality.
Selvaggio Blu was born more than twenty years ago, when two friends came up with an idea: join some old trails of the Supramonte to create a multi-day trek, from Pedra Longa to Cala Sisine, “in pursuit of beauty”, always along the top of the wonderful cliffs of the Coast of Baunei. Only recently, though, the trek has reached maturity, gaining international fame: today the most important national and international agencies and guides recommend it, so that it has become a must among hiking enthusiasts.
Explorando Supramonte provides the great opportunity to live the Selvaggio Blu accompanied by a local guide, amazed by his knowledge and stories, sharing his overwhelming passion for the land where he has spent most of his life. Our experience is at your disposal, together with our knowledge of the region and our competence, whether you are experienced trekkers, who want to do it in total autonomy, or you’re looking for a complete experience, local guide included.
Every year we refine our program by adding all the aspects that walkers love most, such as nights by the sea and the Via Ferrata of Goloritzè, to try to offer the best experience that can be had on the Selvaggio Blu.

My girlfriend and I ended the “selvaggio blu 7 days trekking” a week ago and we are still dreaming about it.
A wonderful experience, I can’t find a better adjective to describe it.
We were a mixed group and at the beginning, to be honest, we were a bit concerned about the dynamic of it, but it turned out to be just perfect. We met only nice people, participants and organizers, nobody excluded.
it is a really particular trekking, sometimes you get to a starting or ending point by jeep or by boat, that means you have to deal with the conditions of the sea also. The guides were always prepared to change plans according to the weather and sea conditions and we never felt any stress about it, they really know well their territory.
During the walks we got to learn a lot about Sardinia and sardinian people in general, and the learning didn’t stop in the evening thanks to the delicious and abundant local food that was always provided.
The beers before dinner were the icing on the cake.
We had a local guy among us trekkers and even he was amazed by the quality and quantity of the food, that says something.
The walks were challenging but with the support of the guides and the good feeling of the group everyone was able to comply and enjoy.
I must mention that we were the only 2 that wished to do the extra day and they made us do it anyway. Big bow about it.
5 stars + ! 🙂

Booked a tour from the 24th-30th of October after it got recommended to us by a local on a previous trip. Crew incl. guides are very kind, generous and professional : Mario, Claudio, Franco, Stefano, Sandro, Christian, Marco ( alpine guide from Trentino who is very professional and reassuring to be around with. Instructions are clear and easy to follow) . Organisation and schedule were flawless from the beginning to the end. They really know their work and what they are doing incl. the weather forecast. When there was no cloud in the sky they know the wind would bring nasty weather. We Didn´t miss anything due to the weather change ( 1 evening of rain) . The trek got simply altered so that we were able to see the beautiful spots we skipped due to the rain. Provided food was delicious, abundant, fresh, tasty, regional and over all unexpected traditional. Had an unforgettable experience within a nice group dynamic. 6-day trek with gorgeous views and landscapes. Over night stay in there very own cave was a highlight. Bring flat , flexibel trail running shoes rather than tall, stiff trekking boots.
