DAY 2: RIDE ALGHERO TO SANTU LUSSURGIU

85.4km | 1,956m | 1,466m | 5h

A stage of medium-high difficulty level, which boils down to a unique and unforgettable stage featuring some of the most interesting sites Sardinia can offer. At the beginning of the tour, we’ll enjoy magnificent views of the coastline. Toward the middle of the tour, we’ll experience uncontaminated countryside including the lovely San Leonardo forest.

DAY 3: RIDE SANTU LUSSURGIU TO ARITZO

91.3km | 1,940m | 1,629m | 5h
This stage begins with a trio of mountain stages. From the area known as Montiferru, we enter Barbagia, the mountain area of inner Sardinia. As we gain altitude we can begin viewing mountains and begin experiencing a countryside where nature provides life’s rhythm. Soon we cycle, bend after bend, through the green and exhilarating forests of Barbagia. After arriving at Aritzo, one of the few centers in Sardinia dedicated to mountain tourism, we will have dinner and then sleep comfortably at hotel.
to Ardauli

DAY 4: RIDE ARITZO TO ORROLI

76.8km | 1,382m | 1,699m | 3,50h

While still in the Barbagia mountain range, we ride soutwards to a small town called Gadoni and right after it, we enjoy a fantastic downhill with super fun hairpins down to the bridge over the Flumendosa river, the most important waterway in the the island that forms here a very deep canyon. We continue riding southeast - regaining atlitude - till we descend on another panoramic and quiet road to the Lower Flumndosa lake. A long and smooth climb will take us to destination: the pictoresque town of Orroli. Before getting to the small hotel, we've planned for you a detour to visit - if you like - the nuraghe Arrubiu, one of the most important archaeologial remains in the island. You have done many meters up before this stage: you deserve lovely a typical dinner and that's what you'll get.

DAY 5: RIDE ORROLI TO VILLAGRANDE STRISAILI

93.1km | 1,975m | 1,609m | 4,30h
This stage is one of the jewels of the tour – an unforgettable must-ride. We’re always riding at high altitude in one of the wildest areas on the island. It’s one of the few places where you can still enjoy countryside where nothing speaks of man's presence. This third mountain stage finishes in comfort and, why not, enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool at four-star hotel in Villagrande Strisaili where we will also have dinner and sleep in comfort.
To central Sardinia

DAY 6: RIDE VILLAGRANDE STRISAILI TO ARBATAX

73.9km | 921m | 1,805m | 3,45h
After four days in the mountains, we meet the sea again, this time on the east coast of Sardinia. The first stretch on this stage is relaxing with easy ups and downs in the Supramonte of Talana mountains. A Supramonte is a mountainous complex, which is divided according to the municipal areas in which it falls. It's by definition an uninhabited and wild area. In Sardinia is synonimous with unspoilt nature because of its harsh environment. A paradise for us cyclists that we can enjoy kilometrs of quiet roads and primordial nature. Finally we ride a fun and scenic downhill to the long flat stretch that separates us from the coast. Overnight in Arbatax.
Near Gorropu Canyon

DAY 7: RIDE ARBATAX TO CALA GONONE

72km | 1,396m | 1,399m | 3,45h
This stage wraps up the whole tour in a spectacular range of scenery. The Supramonte of Baunei features limestone rocks hosting Mediterranean vegetation. After a medium long ascent at the beginning of the stage, the road goes up and down gently, riding always high above sea level, which enables admiring the majestic rock formations of this part of Sardinia. Arrival in Cala Gonone, after one last, long, downhill. Time to celebrate the end of an unforgettable trip. Overnight there.

DAY 8: FAREWELL AND DEPARTURE DAY.

Transfer to Alghero/Olbia airport and end of services.
