Trekking, (free-)climbing and parachuting

  

The province of Sassari (North Sardinia) has a profusion of hills, highlands, lakes, rivers, woods and plains, but all of brief span, which probably makes it easier to enjoy them. A journey from the sea through the hills to the central mountains is a wonderful up-country adventure, a never-ending revelation. Near to us you can visit Monte Ossoni (La Ciaccia), San Gavino (10 km far from Valledoria) or Monte Ruiu (7 km from Valledoria). There, one will find a fantastic panorama over the bay of Asinara till the coast of Corsica.
