Tips from the Community
In August, there is no water flowing there anymore, so swimming is no longer an option.

It's not really a "via ferrata" - but you need to have the ability to find your way and should be able to climb a bit to get to the top (and back down safely).

Even though it gets a bit steeper at this point and you might need to use your hands to help, this section was still easy to walk in October despite the rain. And the path is always visible. With good shoes and a bit of fitness, this climb can be mastered quite easily.

In the heart of a splendid forest you encounter the Rio Pisciaroni, bordered by an enchanting path. It's wonderful to listen to the silence of nature. Here there is a small bridge and a simple ford.

Punta Gjucantinu is the second highest peak of Mount Limbara. You can reach it easily with a path and a short climb. From the top, the view is breathtaking: you have a view that extends from the Gulf of Asinara to the Gennargentu chain. A majestic and fascinating panorama.

In the Vallicciola park on Mount Limbara, the most photographed trees are the magnificent sequoias. Near the Hotel Vallicciola, a clean path immerses itself in a forest of sequoias mixed with a few pines. The sequoias of Vallicciola, an enchanting mountain village on the Limbara, are monumental trees, planted at the beginning of the last century, which reach almost 40 meters in height.
