Overview

Visit with us the most spectacular canyon in Europe and the most famous in Sardinia: the Gorropu Gorge! The guided path, through sections of primary forest of holm oaks and strawberry trees that survived the blows of the woodcutters in the last century, will be particularly suggestive and panoramic, among high rocky walls, Mediterranean forests and intense scents that nature will offer us. Once you reach the canyon, you will reach large white boulders smoothed by water erosion and between walls of 500 meters above us. Insured scenarios of extraordinary beauty and charm!

What you will do

Gola di Gorropu
Gorropu is Europe’s most spectacular canyon and one of its deepest, a breathtaking natural wonder in the heart of wild Sardinia. Carved by millennia of erosion, this majestic gorge stretches for 1.5 kilometers, forming a dramatic natural border between the Barbagia region of Orgosolo and the untamed landscapes of Urzulei in Ogliastra. Exploring its towering limestone walls, over 500 meters high, offers an unforgettable adventure in Sardinia’s unspoiled wilderness.
