A stage of medium-high difficulty level, which boils down to a unique and unforgettable ride featuring some of the best Sardinia has to offer. Durring the beginning of the day, we’ll enjoy magnificent views of the coastline. Toward the middle of the ride, we’ll experience uncontaminated countryside including the lovely San Leonardo forest. The last stretch of the day has a 13 km long climb. After a challenging stage, we’ll enjoy a wonderful dinner and a well-earned sleep at hotel in Santu Lussurgiu.
This stage begins with a trio of descents that lead us out the area known as Montiferru. After riding along the Tirso river we enter Barbagia, the mountainous inner heart of Sardinia. As we gain altitude we can begin seeing the mountains and begin experiencing a countryside where nature dictates the rhythm of life. We continue to weave our way up through the pristine green forests of Barbagia. After arriving at Belvì, one of the few centers in Sardinia dedicated to mountain tourism, we will have dinner and then sleep comfortably at the hotel.
Starting the day out heading south, we soon pass through Gadoni and are greeted by a wonderful descent with hairpin turns that leads to the Flumendosa river. The Flumendosa is very important as it collects water in the Barbagia and brings it to the south of the island. In doing so it has carved out the gorge we must now climb out of. This section of road brings us up into the Addoli forest before descending down to the Lower Flumendosa lake. We must once again climb to bring us to our destination, Orroli. Before we stop for the day we will visit the Arrubiu Nuraghe, which is a mere 5 km from our hotel.
This stage is one of the jewels of the tour – an unforgettable must-ride. The majority of the riding is above 900 m in one of the wildest areas on the island. It’s one of the few places where you can still enjoy countryside without a hint of man's presence. It'd be the best apetizer before having dinner and sleeping in comfort.

This stage wraps up the whole tour with 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 levels out for a while before leading to the final climb of the tour. Fortunately it features a low gradient which enables us to admire the majestic rock formations of this part of Sardinia. Its all down hill from here, a 25 km decscent into Cala Gonone to be exact. Time to celebrate the end of an unforgettable trip. Overnight here next to the beach.
