Itinerary

There are a few ways to access one of the most spectacular canyon in Sardinia, the Gorropu Canyon. We will start our tour at Dorgali’s “sa Barva” bridge.
After walking alongside Rio Flumineddu, we will walk for about 6 km before reaching the canyon entrance.
Once we arrive to the canyon entrance we will keep following Rio Flumineddu while surrounded by a spectacular landscape, amid the canyon’s rock walls that reach up to 500 meters in height.
The path inside the canyon is about 1.5 km long, and marked with 3 different colours according to the degree of difficulty: the green route is quite simple, the yellow of medium difficulty, while the red is reserved for more experienced mountain hikers.
Before heading back following the same entrance path, we will have a picnic in the canyon. On our way back we will take you to natural swimming pools by the Flumineddu river, where tour participants will be able to take a refreshing bath before the final return hike.
