Holiday Information
The south west of Sardinia has seen Skedaddle mountain bikers visit the area for the last 17 years – one of the first mountain biking destinations in the catalogue, when biking was almost unknown on the Island!
Since then, things have changed and the locals have explored what once used to be hunters and mule trails, helping develop a network of fantastic tracks that have been cleaned and maintained by the local volunteers, becoming a biking heaven! To honour this destination and to give the possibility to our Skedaddle friends to ride here, the local Skedaddle Italia team have put all their knowledge together and have come up with the top 20 Singletracks, endless fun trails snaking through some of the mediterranean's most stunning landscape, from coastal areas to impenetrable forested mountains.
We will be exploring three distinctive areas on the south west corner of Sardinia, starting from the coastal limestone area of Nebida, with its high rugged cliffs dropping into the emerald Med, where high plateaux and deep valleys offer ancient twisty winding mining trails with lots of fun. Moving to the forested area of Domusnovas, this is single track heaven and with lots of options to choose from, 100% fun is guaranteed. Santadi is the new venue for the locals, with lots of trails named by riders themselves, once you have tried them out, you will see why it has hosted several Sardinian Enduro races. The final area is the south coast and forests of Pula, combining coastal trails and forest tracks, there will be plenty to choose from for all levels and tastes.
The formula will be Enduro style riding, with big steady ascents, which give access to flowing trails, bringing you back down to the valleys or coast. There will be transfers from one area to the next, staying in 4 different accommodation, offering great hospitality and local food. Your final destination is in a great location near the coast, ideal to relax and re-fuel after a day on the saddle!
While a good level of fitness is required the challenges on this tour come in the form of technical trail features such as switchbacks, rockgardens and exposed singletrack.
