Sardinia Climbing

Sardinia is divided into six main climbing areas:

NUORO Home of Cala Gonone, the most popular crag on the island. Mostly single-pitch sport routes. You need a 60-metre rope and 12 draws.

SASSARI North island climbing. Limestone sport climbing, granite boulders and beautiful seas. Capo Caccia has some deep water soloing.

O R I S TA N O This area including Isili where there’s hundreds of single-pitch sport climbs. There’s basalt, granite and limestone.

OGLISTRA A mountainous area that offers a range of climbing, including nice multi-pitch. It’s high and cool for summer climbing.

IGLESIAS A very popular area in spring and fall. Domusnovas has over 500 routes. Punta Pilocca is claimed by many as the best climbing in all of Sardinia.

CAGLIARI Climbing here has become popular over the years thanks to the great bouldering at Geremeas.
