A road biking tour on one of the most beautiful 'diagonals' on Sardinia. We can explore more, if we cross Sardinia riding diagonally!
A road bike tour on one of the most beautiful 'diagonals' in Sardinia. This tour contains the ingredients for enjoying the freedom of cycling through a landscape that changes by the minute.
You start in the beautiful north-west of Sardinia in Alghero, a real gem in terms of its history and one of the most developed areas of Sardinia in terms of tourism. From there you continue into the mountains and pass through small villages rich in Sardinian traditions.
This is the tour for those who love to learn about history, culture and traditions. It is also perfect for those who want to discover the unique and beautiful Sardinia, an unspoilt land. And this tour will not disappoint racing bike enthusiasts who like to ride daily stages technically designed to enhance their passion for cycling.
We designed the Diagonal tour with three objectives. To mix the coast and mountains of Sardinia, and to do it well. To make it a very explorative trip but without very hard stages. Last but not least, to end it in a convenient place for the many who like to extend their experience in Sardinia with a few days at the beach or further outdoor exploration: Calagonone is the ideal place for this.
And it is not too far from Olbia airport. The entire route is on perfect asphalt, free of heavy traffic. On this tour you can enjoy cycling without any worries. All overnight stays are in three- or four-star hotels, carefully selected to offer great comfort and quality food and drink.
Cycling through charming villages and historical sites, participants get a firsthand experience of Sardinia's rich cultural heritage, ancient ruins, and traditional towns.
The tour showcases the stunning coastal beauty of Sardinia as well as the interior with its quiet roads and majestic vistas.
This trip explores a lot and is designed to be easily extended towards the end.
The journey promises to create lasting memories, from the idyllic coastal vistas to the encounters with local traditions and the sense of accomplishment after completing this scenic route.
Operating primarily in Spring, early Summer, and Autumn, the tour leverages the island's moderate climate, ensuring a pleasant biking experience without extreme temperatures.
Sardinia is a region known for mild Mediterranean weather. It generally features warm, dry weather which makes these rides particularly enjoyable. The spring and fall can see the highs range from the 18s to 25s (Celsius), while the lows are generally between 14 and 18. Summer highs are generally between 28 and 25. We always recommend bringing along riding layers and even a bit of rain (might happen in Spring and Fall) gear so you can keep riding comfortably throughout the day.
Sardinia Cycling arranges group transfers from and to the closest airport for the trip: Alghero/Olbia. Individual transfers can be also planned and the cost might depend from the departure or arrival location, from the transfer time and it can also be influenced by the presence of bulky luggage, like a bike case. Other transport option is public transport. About this last opportunity, we suggest you using Google Maps and select 'public transport' from and to your selected destination. In any case, we're ready to help you selecting the quicker, smoother and most cost effective solution.
Sometimes your trip on Sardinia simply isn’t long enough! Extend your stay for the best vacation possible. If you wish to spend a few days in our lovely island either before or after your trip, and need assistance making those plans, we're available help. Self guided and supported trips can be extended too and that can happen in any intermediate location along the itinerary: we can help selecting the best one!
One thing riders learn soon is that Sardinia is hilly. The terrain is varied, with gradual and short, or very long and progressive climbs throughout the week. Diagonal Bike Tour is best suited for our 'Enthusiast' riders. The routes have been designed to avoid busy roadways, that are very rare in a large and sparsely populated island. However, very little urban riding and short sections of busy roads are unavoidable in Sardinia.
