Trekking to Monte Tiscali

Highlights

The daily Trek to Tiscali is absolutely one of the most appreciated trekkings in Sardinia. In the Lanaitho valley is the Monte Tiscali which wards a priceless treasure, you can discover it with this nice excursion.Inside a beautiful doline you can find the ruins of an ancient village. The doline you see today was a cave in the past, its roof collapsed 900.000 years ago. Might the ancient Sardinians have settled in such a rough and isolated area to escape from the people coming from the sea? The tiscali mountain is not only important because of the nuragic village but also because of the rare species of trees living there ; sometimes the agile moufflons frequent the doline by night and often the weasel comes looking for food. This trekking is very nice, you start in the lush woods then, surrounded by the karstic landscape you walk on the paths excavated by the charcoal burners in the XIX century. Afterwards the trekking to Tiscali passes through a narrow cleft and offers a great view on the Lanaitto valley and the Mount Corrasi range.

About operator:

Jebel Sardinia was founded in 2016 to turn our passion into our job, after graduating in Natural Sciences and becoming official Sardinian trekking guide. Our base camp is Orosei, a small coastal town located in a strategic position: the right starting point to explore the regions of Barbagia, the Gulf of Orosei, Supramonte, Baronia and Gallura. While we guide our clients, we like to show them how magical it is to wake up in such a mysterious land: where the sun welcomes colourful days, full of sweet scents and indescribable emotions. Living in touch with nature in this territory always draws a smile on our faces! We take you where you will have breathtaking views; you will discover hidden caves surrounded by a crystal-clear turquoise sea; you will be transported into the past by our stories about Sardinian History; we will show you wild animals and plants. We just ask you to bring along some enthusiasm and spirit of discovery in your backpack! Sergio
