The Gennargentu is the area where you can best appreciate the naturalistic richness of Sardinia: an inestimable heritage that not only includes the crystal clear sea and dream beaches, which have long been known to tourists from all over the world, but also the treasures hidden in the inland. Set in the center of the island, Gennargentu is the mountain-symbol of Sardinia. It is actually a vast mountainous complex with a varied landscape in which rocks and canyons alternate with green valleys, woods, beaches and cliffs
Punta Lamarmora (the highest peak of the island, 1834 meters) and the Supramonte, a vast plateau of limestone and dolomites of the Mesozoic, rich in underground waters, including the karst spring of Su Gologone, the most important in Sardinia, are part of its territory. . The establishment of the Gennargentu Park and the Gulf of Orosei aims to preserve this immense environmental treasure. It is a wild territory that is colored with different colors depending on the area and the seasons: white with silvery brushstrokes on the mountains in winter, the intense green of the woods and the Mediterranean scrub, the pearly white or red of caves and cliffs and others that you can discover with exciting outdoor activities
