WHY THIS HIKE

Murone-Palmavera Trek, Alghero

Forest, sea and history all in one day. If you're looking for a hike that will leave you breathless (in every sense), you're in the right place.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off early in the morning and cross the hilly system of Monte Doglia, between Monte Palmavera and Monte Murone. The dirt path leads us through a dense forest of pines and Mediterranean scrub, with plenty of shade to keep us company. We climb steadily, tackling some sloped stretches, as the view opens up over the bay of Porto Conte and the Capocaccia headland. At the summit of Monte Murone, we discover a World War II fortress carved into the rock, with bunkers and tunnels still visible. We close the day at the Palmavera nuragic village, whose entrance ticket is included in the price

Why join us - Views that range from forest to sea - Real history, among still-intact fortresses and trenches - The charm of the nuragic village to close the loop - The right pace: challenging but accessible to those who love hiking

Join the Guidders and experience the most authentic Sardinia, one step at a time.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Eleonora, an environmental hiking guide, and after exploring the world I chose to come back to my roots. Today I take out anyone who wants to discover the truest Sardinia: the one that starts where the sand ends. The sea is our treasure, but the island holds a whole world of wild trails, ancient silences, mountains and traditions that deserve to be experienced with respect and curiosity. What I love most is taking people into the real heart of Sardinia, far from the clichés, and sharing the details only someone who deeply loves a land can tell you about. Because Sardinia isn't just to be looked at: it's to be walked, listened to and lived. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
