On the massif of Mount Arcuentu

On this ridge route, we offer you a volcanic landscape with rocks of surprising shapes and colours. The climb to the summit includes some simple climbing sections, which can be tackled with light and comfortable equipment, paying attention in case of rain.

After leaving the car park, the day begins on a dirt road that runs alongside the Riu Bidda Atzei, then climbs up to the crest. From here, a wider path leads you up to the rock face. Along the route, the stations of the cross lead towards the summit of Monte Arcuentu, at 781 metres. The mountain, with its arched top from which it takes its name, resembles a Dolomite tower if you look at it from the beaches of Piscinas and Scivu. This majestic mountain extends eight kilometers in length parallel to the wild and wonderful beaches of the Costa Verde.

After enjoying the view, the walk briefly follows the same route, then skirting the panoramic western walls until reaching Monte Arcuenteddu, the 'younger brother', which rises to 603 metres.

The track then descends to a wide saddle, from where you can choose different paths. If you want to extend the adventure, you can continue along the ridge towards new views, while if you prefer to end here you can go down towards the provincial road. Once you reach the asphalt, a short 700 meter walk takes you back to the starting point.
