Description
Located in the central-eastern area of Sardinia, the trekking route of Selvaggio Blu is definitely worth exploring. Join me as I take you to this incredible terrain in Italy.
The Selvaggio Blu lies in the beautiful area of Baunei, around 480 meters above sea level. Baunei offers a stunning view of the high massif of Gennargentu and is surrounded by impressive mountains.
The trip has a lot to offer. For 10 days, you’ll cross over 40 kilometers of limestone rocks and ascend many high cliffs. The route stretches from Santa Maria Navarrese port to the beautiful Italian coast of Cala Sisine and is without a doubt an absolute pleasure for the eyes.
The Selvaggio Blu is considered a wild trekking route as a major part of the path can only be accessed by boat. The entire gulf is formed of spectacular coastline, deep waters, gorges and caves and is known for its typical Mediterranean vegetation.
The tour will take you to an area that will leave you spellbound. Several stretches of the route display the fine craftsmanship of the 19th-century charcoal burners and skilled shepherds. The path is considered as one of the most difficult paths to access and demands the expertise of 4th-degree technical skills to traverse.
Though the route is just about 50 km, however, the terrain and the heavy backpack generally makes the progression fairly slow. But, everything becomes worthwhile as you are rewarded with panoramic views all along.
Keep in mind that it is a strenuous trek and includes vertical scaling and abseiling which connects many spectacular sections of the trek. So, you must be in great shape and have previous experience to sign up.
If you have what it takes, then send a message to go on one of the most exceptional treks in the world. You sure will never forget it! I also guide this trip to the Italian Alps here.

What people are saying about Renzo
Bernhard
Trip and guide were superb! Two things that should have been better: 1. I missed a more detailed describtion with an itinerary - I started the trip without exactly knowing what the plan is, since there are several options of doing the via delle Bocchette. 2. platform of explore-share: Before doing any booking I always have questions and want to clarify or specify things. But your platform seems to know only booking or not booking, although there is the questions/inquery button. Even when using this you're harrassed with booking reminders and your questions doesn't get answered! I don't know how often I stopped the booking process because of that! It just doens't help too much, when you're only able to get your answeres after the booking! Please, please make that better!

Our guide Renzo went above and beyond! He adapted perfectly to our level of experince and fitness, took us on an amazing scramble around thr mountains, and even took lots of photos and made coffee for us!
Richard
A very interesting tour of Piz Bernina with a mixture of snow/glacier and rock climbing. Definitely not easy though and requires a good head for heights. Renzo is a very good guide and has an excellent knowledge of the area and the climbing sections. As a result, we were able to quickly climb the final section from the hut and had the summit all to ourselves.
