Discover the Untamed Beauty of Northern Sardinia with AAA Hiking.
Stretching for kilometres along the turquoise embrace of the Mediterranean, the northern coast of Sardinia is a breathtaking blend of views of Corsica, the islands' archipelago and secluded, low-lying beaches. Here, nature reigns supreme. The mountains, goats, sheep, donkeys, and wild boar roam freely through forests of strawberry trees, holly oaks, and ancient oaks. Overhead, the majestic royal eagle soars, nesting on the highest peaks and guarding this pristine paradise.
We will be exploring this beauty on foot and by boat.

ITINERARY
The event starts on Wednesday, 17 June, at the Olbia airport at 20:45 and finishes there on Sunday, 21 June, at 15:10.

The ancient Greeks called it olbìa - ‘happiness’. It is the gateway to the island and the driving force behind the economy of the Gallura area. Many flights arrive there, and it is a good town to stay in and explore before or after the trip.

We will have 3 full days, and we will explore the following 3 places.

The National Park of Arcipelago di La Maddalena was established in 1994.
The park is a protected marine and terrestrial area off the northeastern coast of Sardinia, Italy. It comprises a group of granite islands and islets known for their crystal-clear waters, unspoiled beaches, and rich marine biodiversity. The park preserves important Mediterranean ecosystems and is valued both for its natural beauty and its role in marine conservation.

Capo Testa is a striking rocky promontory in northern Sardinia, near Santa Teresa Gallura, renowned for its dramatic granite formations sculpted by wind and sea. Surrounded by clear turquoise waters, it features small coves, beaches, and panoramic views toward Corsica. The area is valued for its natural scenery, coastal hiking paths, and unique geological landscape. We shall swim during our lunch.

Bonifacio is a historic town at the southern tip of Corsica, France, dramatically perched on white limestone cliffs overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. Known for its medieval citadel, narrow streets, and natural harbour, it offers a distinctive blend of cultural heritage and striking coastal scenery. The surrounding area is also notable for sea caves, cliffs, and protected marine environments. There are a few ferries a day, going across the strait; it takes about an hour.

The exact itinerary will feature the highlights listed above and will be shared with attendees closer to the day. Every day is planned with care and adjusted according to the most recent weather forecast.

LOCATION
We will be based in Santa Teresa Gallura. It is a coastal town in northern Sardinia, located near the Strait of Bonifacio. It is famous for its white-sand beaches, clear waters, and a lively town centre dominated by the Spanish-era Longonsardo Tower.
Spiaggia Rena Bianca beach is a stunning stretch of powder-white sand in the heart of Santa Teresa Gallura, celebrated for its luminous turquoise waters and exceptional clarity. Framed by rocky headlands and opening onto breathtaking views of Corsica, the beach offers a picture-perfect Mediterranean setting that feels both elegant and inviting. Its calm, shallow sea and natural beauty make it one of northern Sardinia’s most captivating coastal gems.
