The Trekking to the Terraces of Cala Biriala is a journey into one of Sardinia’s most breathtaking landscapes — a perfect fusion of wild nature, ancient tradition, and coastal splendor. Known locally as Cala Biriola, this beach is famed for its brilliant emerald waters framed by lush Mediterranean vegetation and rugged limestone cliffs.
Our trek begins with a scenic 4WD drive from Orosei to Baunei, followed by an ascent to the Golgo plateau, a remote area steeped in myth and history. From here, the trail winds through old paths once used by charcoal burners and shepherds, whose stone sheepfolds still stand as silent witnesses to their resilience.
The route itself is easy to moderate, with gentle slopes leading to the terraces above Cala Biriala, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the entire Gulf of Orosei. The excursion concludes with an optional traditional shepherd’s lunch in a local ovile — an authentic taste of Sardinian life and culture.

Route details
Your adventure starts at 7:30 AM in Orosei, where a 4WD transfer will take you through the heart of the Supramonte of Baunei to the Golgo plateau. After a short break, we begin our trek along an ancient trail carved by time and footsteps of generations past. The path to the terraces climbs gently through oak and juniper forests, revealing ever-expanding views of the coastline below.
Reaching the terraces above Cala Biriala, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most spectacular vistas of the Gulf — an endless expanse of turquoise water meeting white cliffs. Take time to rest, capture photos, and breathe in the salty air that rises from the hidden beach far below.
We’ll then return toward Golgo, where a typical shepherd’s lunch awaits (optional), featuring homemade cheeses, cured meats, and Cannonau wine — a delicious conclusion to your day of discovery. The return to Orosei is scheduled for 6:00 PM.
