Just a few kilometers from Orosei, the Trekking Sa Conca Isteddata and Monte Senes offers a stunning combination of geology, forest, and panoramic grandeur. Unlike the arid karst landscapes typical of this region, Monte Senes reveals a world of tafonated granite sculptures — natural forms shaped over millennia by wind and water into surreal creations.
At an elevation of 800 meters, the trail rewards hikers with uninterrupted views stretching across the East Coast — from the Island of Tavolara in the north to Capo Monte Santo in the south. Between them lie the glittering beaches of Capo Comino, Berchida, Biderosa, Su Barone, and Osalla.
As we venture through dense holm-oak and arbutus forests, giant granite boulders and hidden freshwater springs punctuate the trail. The climax of the hike is the Sa Conca Isteddata Basin, a mesmerizing natural arch where erosion has carved a window to the sky, framing the landscape below in breathtaking fashion.

I have always loved spending my time outdoors, between the sea and the mountains, until I decided to turn this passion into my profession. Despite holding a degree in Pedagogy, I chose to dedicate my life to outdoor activities, first obtaining all the necessary qualifications to work as a professional Skipper. During the summer season, I work in Sardinia, specifically in the renowned and breathtaking Gulf of Orosei. Later on, I followed my passion for the mountains by becoming a certified Environmental Hiking Guide. A few years ago, I decided to open my small agency with the aim of personally organizing and leading excursions for small groups, offering authentic experiences carefully curated in every detail. My desire is to show my island through my own eyes, with the respect and sense of wonder reserved for a land made up of many unique places, where ancient traditions have endured over time, where a mysterious history still surrounds our origins, and which is also known as the homeland of the Blue Zone. I mainly focus my trekking activities in the Supramonte area, where wild and imposing mountains, moving eastward, give way to dramatic cliffs overlooking one of the most beautiful seas in the world. Trekking activities take place from March to mid-June and from September to November. During the summer months, high temperatures and the scarcity of water in the mountains, due to the karst nature of the terrain, make hiking less safe and less suitable. What I offer are authentic and unforgettable experiences, in close contact with local communities, to be lived at a slow pace in order to fully enjoy every moment and every panoramic view. Sardinia deserves to be lived, discovered and respected, and if you wish, I will be the one to guide you on this adventure — a physical and emotional journey.

Route details

Our adventure begins at 8:00 AM in Orosei, with a 4WD transfer that brings us close to the Irgoli foothills — the gateway to Monte Senes. From here, we start our ascent through shaded woodlands, where you’ll discover Sardinia’s wilder side in a tranquil, untouched setting.
Along the way, your guide will share stories of the land and the people who once lived in harmony with these mountains. As we reach higher elevations, the trail opens to panoramic viewpoints — perfect spots for a short rest and photos of the vast coastline stretching beneath you.
The path continues to the extraordinary Sa Conca Isteddata, a collapsed cave system whose vaulted rock has been eroded by centuries of wind and rain. Looking upward, you’ll see a web of openings that reveal slices of brilliant sky — a scene both magical and humbling. After a packed lunch in nature, we descend at an easy pace and return to Orosei by afternoon, carrying the serenity of this rare landscape with us.
