“On a bike, Sardinia reveals itself slowly — rugged mountains, quiet villages, ancient ruins, and the warmth of local hospitality. It’s the most authentic way to experience the island.?.” Naomi Lindfield, Skedaddle Italia
Cycling in Sardinia offers a mix of challenging mountains, rolling hills, and quiet coastal lanes. The interior is dominated by the Gennargentu and Supramonte ranges, with steep climbs and winding descents that are perfect for road cyclists and mountain bikers. Along the coast, gravel tracks and gentle hills provide excellent cycle routes for leisure riders or those on self-guided cycling holidays in Sardinia.
Sardinia enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters. The best months to cycle are spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), when temperatures are comfortable, the roads are quiet, and the landscape is vibrant with wildflowers and greenery. Summer can be very hot, especially inland, so we focus our trips before and after the hottest part of the summer.
From coastal loops near Alghero and Pula to inland climbs in Supramonte and Monte Limbara, the island offers routes for every cyclist. Dramatic ascents reward you with sweeping panoramas, while rolling coastal lanes and gravel tracks provide relaxed, scenic rides for self-guided cycling holidays in Sardinia.
A highlight of any bike tour Sardinia is the local cuisine. Riders can refuel on roasted lamb, fresh seafood, pecorino cheese, and hearty breads. Wash it down with a glass of robust Cannonau wine or a refreshing citrus-based drink, perfect after a long climb or a day exploring Sardinia cycle routes. A dessert is always on the mind when cycling so while in Sardinia you should try local favourite Seadas, pastry filled with lemon-infused fresh cheese (typically pecorino), deep-fried and served warm with honey drizzled on top.
Sardinia is one of only 5 recognized Blue Zones in the world where people consistently live over 100 years, a big part of this is down to the Sardinian diet which is packed with seasonal foods including legumes, whole grains, garden vegetables, fruits, nuts, and local sheep/goat dairy, with meat (lamb, pork) reserved for Sundays/special occasions, plus moderate Cannonau red wine!
Sardinia is well known for its agriturismos, traditional farm stays where visitors can enjoy home-cooked meals made from fresh, seasonal ingredients grown on the farm.
Sardinia accommodates cyclists of all skill levels, offering routes for road cyclists, gravel riders, and mountain bikers. E-bikes are available for self-guided cycling holidays, and gentle coastal routes are ideal for beginners or leisure cyclists. Chat to us about the options for your trip.
Cycling is probably the best way to see the many different sides of Sardinia. Many Sardinian cycle routes pass through charming villages, historic sites, and local markets. Stop to sample local food and drink — from fresh seafood to robust wines — along the way.
