The asphalt roads for our tours are always in good to excellent condition, and considering the climate and the fact that it seldom rains in Sardinia, they are mostly dry. Traffic is never a problem, either on the state or provincial roads. Sardinian roads are rarely flat. Most often there are a lot of short ups and downs, such as on the lovely coastal roads. When entering the mountainous regions, you may often meet long, but never extreme slopes of between four and 10 km long. Sardinia is well known for its beaches, but behind them are mountains reaching 1000 meters and more.

Temperatures and clothing

You can find the highest average temperature for each month of the year in the various boxes on our web site. During spring and autumn, the temperatures vary between 16° and 26° C. In summer you have to be prepared for temperatures between 28° and 35° C. If this kind of heat is a problem for you, it is advisable to start your tour earlier in the morning to reach the higher altitudes and the cool, fresh air there. With some exceptions, the temperature during mid-January and the end of February can be as low as 0° C in the morning. So during this period, temperatures could be between 8° and 15° C during a tour. Rainfall is very seldom, but having a rainwear in your luggage isn’t a bad idea.

Distances and levels of difficulty
