Trekking in Punta La Marmora

Exploring the Gennargentu Massif

A suggestive route that, starting from lake flumendosa and going up the Gennargentu mountain massif, leads us to the roof of the island: Punta La Marmora (1,834 m above sea level).
The road to the highest peak of Sardinia will reveal green woods, garighe and the mysterious nuragic village of Molathò (Ruinas), with the remains of its 120 huts and a central nuraghe still in good condition and can be visited inside. Mouflons, herds of horses (once domestic and now feral) and the golden eagle will be our fellow hikers.

Itinerary: We will start from the SS 389, near Lake Alto Flumendosa, we will go up the Gennargentu mountain massif and, after having traveled about 20 km of paved road, between woods and garighe, we will reach the nuragic village of Molathò (Ruinas) at 1,200 m.s.l.m. From the village we will leave for about 3 km (walkable or by car) to get to the path that leads to the highest peak of Sardinia, Punta La Marmora. The difference in height is about 600 m for a distance of about 5 km.
