Tavolara Trekking Without Climbing Gear
EE TREKKING – THE WILD SIDE OF TAVOLARA
The EE (Experienced Hikers) trekking route allows you to discover much of the western side of Tavolara Island, offering unique and breathtaking views.
The trail follows the ancient paths once used by lime miners and shepherds to cross the island, immersed in a wild environment where sea and mountains meet. Throughout the hike, your eyes will constantly wander between the deep blue sea and the impressive limestone ridges that characterise the entire western side of Tavolara.
The highest point of this circular route reaches 310 metres above sea level, at a magnificent panoramic viewpoint suspended above Spalmatore di Terra Beach.
The route does not require the use of a harness, although a helmet may be necessary in some sections. Despite not featuring via ferrata equipment, the trail develops over steep and rocky terrain, making it suitable for experienced hikers with a good level of fitness.

The Route
From Spalmatore di Terra Beach, we head towards the cliffs and follow a well-marked trail leading in the direction of Punta della Mandria.
Before reaching the headland, a smaller path climbs towards the upper section of the Lower Ledge. The route crosses steep, rocky and rugged terrain, where fixed ropes are used in some sections to assist the ascent and where we overcome the characteristic Scala 'e Fustes.
After this passage, we reach the highest panoramic point of the route: a spectacular natural limestone balcony overlooking Spalmatore di Terra Beach.
From here, the descent towards Punta della Mandria begins, following a trail characterised by steep slopes and dominated by the impressive limestone walls of the western side of the island.
Crossing rocky slopes and sections of scree, we finally reach Punta della Mandria, accompanied by a magnificent view of Molara Island and the surrounding sea.
The complete route is completed within half a day, returning to Spalmatore di Terra Beach.
