The Trekking to Punta Salinas is an unforgettable hike to one of the most scenic viewpoints along the Gulf of Orosei

Rising 450 meters above sea level, Punta Salinas offers sweeping vistas over the turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs of Cala Goloritzè, one of Sardinia’s most iconic coves. This route is ideal for hikers of all levels, especially those seeking a gentle but rewarding walk rich in panoramic beauty and local history. The trail begins along the same route leading to Cala Goloritzè before veering off toward the Punta Salinas ridge. As the path meanders through ancient limestone terrain and fragrant Mediterranean scrub, you’ll encounter old shepherd shelters—silent remnants of Sardinia’s pastoral past. The final viewpoint reveals a breathtaking tableau where sea, cliffs, and sky merge into one. 

This is the perfect experience for those who wish to immerse themselves in the island’s natural wonder without the strain of steep climbs.

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

Your adventure begins at 7:30 AM in Orosei, where you’ll meet your guide and board a 4WD transfer to the trailhead near Baunei. After a brief orientation, the hike starts on a gentle dirt track surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and limestone formations. The terrain undulates softly, making it accessible yet captivating, with frequent stops to admire the changing perspectives of the coastline. 

Along the way, you’ll pass ancient sheepfolds, reminders of the shepherds who once lived in harmony with these rugged mountains. After about 7.5 km of walking and a mild 150-meter elevation gain, you’ll reach the panoramic point of Punta Salinas, directly overlooking Cala Goloritzè. Here, we’ll pause to enjoy a packed lunch, relax, and take in one of Sardinia’s most breathtaking vistas. 

After ample time to rest and photograph the scenery, we’ll retrace our steps and return to Orosei by afternoon.
