Monoliths of Sardinia
Trekking and biking paths lead to their feet and the top is a destination for climbers
stones with an ancient history and of pure energy
Buttes, aiguilles and rocky peaks are the silent witnesses of a geological era during which they incorporated fossils, schists, limestone and dolomite rocks from the Cambrian period. They burst powerfully into the Sardinian landscapes and are so full of energy accumulated over hundreds of millions of years that they were already perceived and considered places of worship in the Nuragic age, a sentiment resulting from the cosmic occurrences considered divine and supernatural. Much of that magical aura and that transcendental solitude will reach you as you walk the paths that lead to their feet. Here are some of them - destinations for unusual excursions.

It is also generous and lends itself to being experienced as an open-air gym, with trails to walk or cycle along and sheer rock faces to climb. This is why its role is that of a ‘prima donna’ in the granitic landscape along this stretch of Gallura.
