TAVOLARA ISLAND TRAILS
Choose Your Adventure!
Anyone who loves hiking cannot help but be fascinated by the incredible attraction of Tavolara. Sea and mountains, sky and land come together in a small jewel of limestone and dolomite that shines under the Mediterranean sun, creating a unique and captivating landscape.
The island is an unmissable destination for all trekking enthusiasts, thanks to the variety of its trails and the possibility of experiencing routes suitable for different levels of ability and preparation.
In Tavolara, you can choose between three main types of itineraries:
T (Tourist): an easy route that allows you to explore the western isthmus of the island and reach the southern area of Punta della Mandria, enjoying beautiful views over the sea.
EE (Experienced Hikers): a more demanding trek that climbs the island’s slopes up to the scenic viewpoint of Pratone, offering spectacular views over the surrounding area.
EEA (Experienced Hikers Equipped with Gear): the most technical route, leading to the island’s summit, Punta Cannone, at 565 metres above sea level, through a wild and fascinating environment.
For those looking for an even more vertical and alpine experience, Tavolara also offers the Via Ferrata degli Angeli, a unique route that will be explored in a dedicated section.
PUNTA CANNONE EEA TREK
The summit of Tavolara offers a unique perspective over the coastal Gallura region and towards an endless horizon. From above, the deep blue sea surrounding the island stretches eastward until it merges with the sky, creating one of the most spectacular views in Sardinia.
The EEA trek to Punta Cannone (565 metres) is a full-day experience, featuring approximately 600 metres of elevation gain and a total distance of around 7 kilometres.
The route crosses wild and fascinating landscapes: the first section follows rocky terrain through the fragrant Mediterranean maquis, with a steady ascent reaching an altitude of about 300 metres. The final approach to the summit requires the use of a harness, helmet and via ferrata kit to overcome some short equipped sections leading to the spectacular summit ridges.
A challenging and rewarding adventure, designed for experienced hikers, offering the unforgettable satisfaction of reaching the highest point of Tavolara.
EE TREK (Experienced Hikers)
Even without the use of climbing equipment, Tavolara offers the opportunity to experience extraordinary views and reach places of great natural beauty.
The EE route (Experienced Hikers) leads to the Pratone, a wide green plateau suspended between sky and sea, where a spectacular panorama opens over the entire surrounding area.
From here, the view extends towards the imposing walls and ridges of Punta di Lucca and Punta Cannone, which dominate the landscape. Although the itinerary does not require a harness or via ferrata equipment, it is still reserved for experienced hikers: the steep sections and rocky terrain, including stretches of scree, require good physical fitness and confident footing.
An authentic and wild route, ideal for those who want to discover the more natural and untouched side of Tavolara.
VIA FERRATA DEGLI ANGELI
The Via Ferrata degli Angeli is a demanding EEA route that follows the spectacular southern ridges of Tavolara Island, offering a unique perspective over the sea below and an extraordinary natural environment.
The route alternates between moderately difficult sections and more challenging passages, featuring a technical via ferrata with some short Grade I climbing sections. The exposure, variety of terrain and stunning surroundings make this ascent an unforgettable experience for experienced hikers and lovers of vertical adventures.
The equipped route gradually leads to the island’s high ridges, first reaching Punta di Lucca (541 metres) and then the summit of Punta Cannone (565 metres), the highest point of Tavolara.
A true adventure between rock, sky and sea, where every step reveals breathtaking views and the thrill of conquering one of Sardinia’s most fascinating peaks.
