Description

Explore Sardinia Day by Day!

Join us on an unforgettable journey along Sardinia's captivating west coast—a biking adventure that reveals a tale of natural beauty and cultural richness.

Starting in the charming town of Alghero, you’ll wind through scenic landscapes and quaint villages, inviting you to experience the wonders of this enchanting island. Setting off from Alghero, feel the gentle Mediterranean breeze as you pedal toward Bosa, a coastal town adorned with pastel-hued houses and a river lined by historic tanneries—a striking blend of history and coastal charm.

Continuing onward, the timeless village of Santu Lussurgiu welcomes you with its rich traditions and authentic Sardinian heritage. The journey leads to Cabras, where history and nature converge on the Sinis Peninsula, home to the ancient ruins of Tharros and stunning salt flats.

Pedaling further, you’ll encounter the majestic Torre dei Corsari, where cliffs descend to the turquoise sea, creating a breathtaking panorama. From there, the path winds to Portixeddu, a secluded coastal gem framed by golden sands and azure waters.

Next, you arrive at Sant'Antioco, an island imbued with mythology, ancient ruins, and pristine beaches. Finally, your adventure culminates in Pula, where remnants of ancient civilizations merge seamlessly with the vibrant energy of a modern town—a fitting conclusion to this exceptional biking tour.

Designed for cyclists of all levels, this journey offers a pleasant ride through mild terrains and gentle climbs, making it accessible and enjoyable.

Operated primarily in spring, early summer, and autumn, the tour showcases Sardinia’s seasonal colors and mild climate, ideal for an immersive and comfortable experience.

Along the way, you’ll savor sweeping coastal views, embrace the island’s rich history, and create lasting memories against a backdrop that harmonizes nature’s splendor with cultural intrigue. Ultimately, this biking tour transcends physical activity—it's a holistic experience blending adventure, culture, and natural beauty, offering an extraordinary perspective on Sardinia's captivating west coast.

Day 2: From Alghero to Bosa

This day begins with a ride through the narrow cobbled streets of old Alghero. From there we continue south along the Riviera del Corallo on a scenic road overlooking the sea with alternating climbs and descents. This rolling coastal road leads to the medieval town of Bosa. It’s the only true river town of Sardinia, and it's famous for its wine, embroidery, gold filigree and leather tanneries. Overnight in Bosa.

Day 3: From Bosa to Santu Lussurgiu

The coast is what attracts most people to our island, but if you want to experience the authentic Sardinia you must head inland. The medieval village of Santu Lussurgiu is a perfect example of the culture, hospitality, gastronomic traditions and the quality of life inland Sardinia has to offer. To enjoy all this, we turn away from the coast and climb into the mountains of the Montiferru region. Continuing up we will pass though Tresnuraghes, Sennariolo and Cuglieri. The last of these small villages contains the Basilica of Santa Maria della Neve that you will see long before you reach the town. From Cuglieri, a long climb in the shadow of an oak forest leads you towards Santu Lussurgiu, where you'll stay overnight.

Ride Specs

Distance: 48 km

Accommodation

Category: 3-star hotel
Meals: Breakfast, dinner

Day 4: From Santu Lussurgiu to Cabras

A decidedly relaxing stage allows your legs to recover and gives you time to visit some interesting places. There is the village of Seneghe that is known for its honey and olive oil. The Archaeological Sites of Monte Prama and Tharros will help you connect with the ancient history of the island. There are also the beautiful beaches, such as Putzu Idu, Mari Ermi and Cabras. The hardest part of the day will be choosing where to spend your time. The destination is Cabras where warm hospitality awaits you.

Ride Specs

Distance: 50km
Elevation gain: 178m
Riding terrain: mostly flat
Riding time: 2.30h

Accommodation

Category: 4-star hotel
Meals: Breakfast

Day 5: From Cabras to Torre dei Corsari

The plain of Arborea is the only area of Sardinia where you will find flat straight roads. Once a marshy area, as a result of land reclamation it has become one of the most important agricultural areas in Italy. Enjoy this unique region and its flat roads as this is only an intermezzo between the more 'hilly' stages. The stage ends in Torre dei Corsari, with its long dune-lined beach. We recommend taking advantage of the flat roads and reach the destination early for a swim in the turquoise sea before staying the night.

Ride Specs

Distance: 52.4km
Elevation gain: 314m
Riding terrain: mostly flat
Riding time: 3h

Accommodation

Category: 3-star hotel
Meals: Breakfast

Day 6: From Torre dei Corsari to Portixeddu

Traversing Sardinia's Costa Verde is the objective of the day. This stretch of coast is characterized by lush nature and beaches with imposing sand dunes. It was once the heart of the island's mining industry and now the vestiges of that past face the constant encroachment of nature. On the bike this is a mountain stage, consisting of three long climbs, although they are never very steep. After all the climbing your reward is a long enjoyable descent, with a view of the gulf that is home to our destination: the small tourist resort of Portixeddu, where dinner and the overnight stay are planned.

Ride Specs

Distance: 61.1km
Elevation gain: 1,288m
Riding terrain: hilly
Riding time: 4h

Accommodation

Category: 3-star hotel
Meals: Breakfast, dinner

Day 7: From Portixeddu to Sant'Antioco

Before leaving the hotel you should put a large memory card in your camera. This stage offers spectacular views of the coast that you will definitely want to capture in photographs. The coastline of Buggerru, Masua and Nebida has many climbs, but the time you'll spend going uphill is never tedious, as slow pace allows these breathtaking views to etch deeply into your memory. A stop at Cala Domestica is a must before tackling the second climb of the day. The last half of the stage is mostly flat as you head toward Sant'Antioco, where the overnight stay is planned.

Ride Specs

Distance: 69.9km
Elevation gain: 895m
Riding terrain: hilly
Riding time: 4h

Accommodation

Category: 3-star hotel
Meals: Breakfast

Day 8: From Sant'Antioco to Pula

Leaving Sant'Antioco the first section of today's stage is relatively flat. However, from the moment you pass Porto Pino you will experience the constantly alternating ups and downs that characterize the stage as a whole. The stretch of coastal road from Porto Teulada and Chia is recognized as one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world. The pale pastels of the rocks and cliffs, the deep greens of the vegetation, and the deep blue and turquoise of the sea stand in stunning contrast to one another. The Aragonese towers (from the Spanish occupation of Sardinia) that once protected the coastline are found at multiple points along the way. This superlative road is a fitting way to bring this tour to an end. Overnight in Pula.

Packing and Weather

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.

Transfers

Sardinia Cycling arranges group transfers from and to the closest airport for the trip. 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.

Go Custom

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!

Terrain

One thing riders learn soon is that Sardinia is hilly. The terrain is varied, with gradual and short and some longer and progressive climbs throughout the week. West Coast of Sardinia on E-bike is best suited for our 'Recreational' riding. 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.
