What are the Best Cycling Routes for a Tour in Sardinia?

Sardinia offers diverse landscapes and routes that cater to every cyclist, from beginners to seasoned adventurers.

The Coastal Routes
Cycle along Sardinia’s world-famous coastline, where turquoise waters and white sandy beaches await. Explore the Costa Smeralda in the north, known for its glamorous towns like Porto Cervo, or ride along the Costa Rei and the stunning beaches of Villasimius in the south. These routes offer breathtaking sea views and gentle terrain perfect for leisurely rides.

Gennargentu Mountains
For a more challenging adventure, head to the Gennargentu Mountains in central Sardinia. These rugged trails provide an exhilarating experience for mountain bikers, with steep climbs, winding descents, and panoramic views of the island's untouched wilderness. Explore picturesque villages like Fonni, the highest town in Sardinia, and discover the raw beauty of the island’s interior.

The Nuraghi Trail
Sardinia’s unique cultural heritage is on full display along the Nuraghi Trail, which takes cyclists through a landscape dotted with ancient nuraghi – mysterious stone structures that date back thousands of years. This route combines moderate terrain with opportunities to explore Sardinia’s history and archaeology.

The Sinis Peninsula
Discover the tranquil beauty of the Sinis Peninsula on the west coast. This area is perfect for gravel and road cycling, with routes passing by lagoons, wetlands, and ancient ruins like Tharros, a former Phoenician city. The flat terrain and scenic views make it ideal for cyclists of all levels.

Sulcis and the Costa Verde
For those seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures, the Sulcis region and Costa Verde on the island’s southwestern coast offer a mix of challenging climbs, rugged trails, and pristine beaches. Explore the abandoned mines of the Iglesiente region or ride along the sand dunes of Piscinas, some of the tallest in Europe.
