What is the Selvaggio Blu?

The Selvaggio Blu is considered one of the most demanding and fascinating treks in Italy—and all of Europe.
Spanning over 50 km, this wild route follows ancient shepherd paths, charcoal mule tracks, and climbing sections along the stunning coastline of the Gulf of Orosei.
Created in the 1980s by mountaineers Mario Verin and Peppino Cicalò, this itinerary takes you from Pedra Longa to Cala Sisine, passing some of Sardinia’s most iconic coves: Cala Goloritzé, Cala Mariolu, and Cala Biriola.

Why Choose This Trek?

• Certified UIAGM Mountain Guide with over 10 years of experience on the route

• Safe management of rope descents and exposed sections

• Optional “Selvaggio Blu Extreme” route variations for experienced hikers

• Authentic encounters with Sardinia’s last active shepherd huts

• Exclusive route via the “Su Ledere ‘e Goloritzé” via ferrata with stunning sea views

A Trek for True Mountain Enthusiasts

The Selvaggio Blu is not for everyone.
It requires good physical condition, familiarity with technical terrain, and mandatory guidance from a certified Mountain Guide to navigate alpine sections and rope passages safely.

If you’re looking for an off-the-grid trek, close to home yet deeply connected with nature, and want to experience a raw and intense adventure, this is the journey for you.

Our Approach: Authentic Experience, Simplicity, and Nature

Our itinerary follows the classic route, enhanced by the “sea view” variation of the new Goloritzé via ferrata (Su Ledere ‘e Goloritzé), connecting Cala Goloritzé to Cala Mariolu.
We’ll stop at the last active shepherd huts along the coast, where locals like Zio Battista, Paolo, Salvatore, and Laura will welcome us with heartfelt stories, local products, and genuine hospitality.

This is not just a trek: it’s a full immersion into a timeless world, where nature, history, and adventure blend into an unforgettable week.
