Trip Information

A lovely place to place self guided mountain bike vacation in Italy, that alternates between dirt tracks and quiet asphalt roads, steep climbs and thrilling descents. This is a journey deep into the heart of Sardinia, requiring a reasonable level of fitness rather than technical ability.

Starting near Montevecchio, at the agriturismo famous for its delicious home made pasta, we set off east taking us past an ever changing landscape of olive groves and vineyards, lush green oak woods and into breathtaking wilderness mountain scenery. The tour culminates with a lovely descent through the mountains of Supramonte to the stunning emerald green Orosei Gulf. After a richly deserved swim and spot of relaxation, time to celebrate our great adventure. With many little restaurants and pizzerias overlooking the beach, there is no better way to finish our adventure than enjoying another superb meal, sipping wine and watching the stars twinkle over the Med.

If you can’t find a date to suit or want to go it alone, there is also a self guided road option and a fully guided mountain bike option too.

If you have a day or two to spare why not extend your trip with some trekking or sea kayaking. Our local team can join you for a day’s guiding or we can provide the information and equipment to allow you to enjoy the routes self-guided, just give us a call for further info.

You can also watch this fantastic YouTube video filmed by John O'Mahoney who went on the trip back a couple of years ago.

Trip Feedback

Excellent!

Really excellent trip, well organised so everything worked like clockwork. Enjoyed self guided option and day sea kayaking at the end. Pleased to opt for no rest day in the middle and use that day at end.

Excellent holiday!

The briefing provided on the way to the first hotel contained a lot of information, which is good, although it was a lot to take in fresh off the plane. The map book and associated maps/ directions were excellent – much better than we had dared to hope for from discussions in the UK.

David and Viv, County Durham, UK
Fantastic scenery

Excellent Holiday and the best day was from Suelo to Villanova Strisaili. Great climbs, fantastic scenery, some challenging MTB. The complete mountain biking day!

Great first ever guided cycling holiday

Our first self guided cycling holiday. It was great that both airport transfer drivers were friendly and helpful. The bags were always reliably delivered well ahead of our arrival. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the accommodation owners and the staff on the ground. Nice to have a pre-trip chat and mid-trip SMS to make sure we were going okay.

Elaine and Steve, UK
Great service...

Our Skedaddle representative really went the extra mile – thank you!

The food and accommodation throughout the holiday was great!
