Itinerary

Day 1: Meet-up in Olbia

We’ll meet in Olbia around lunchtime (exact time may vary depending on participants’ arrival schedules).

For those traveling by ferry, car-sharing is possible to reduce costs. We recommend taking the night ferry from Civitavecchia, Livorno, or Genoa the evening before. Alternatively, you can fly directly to Olbia (with a car rental option if no vehicle is available). If flying into Cagliari, a bus to Tertenia is available.

Optionally, you may arrive a day earlier and arrange independent accommodation in Olbia.

From Olbia, we’ll travel to Ulassai and settle into our accommodations. After a briefing on the weekly program, we’ll enjoy a typical Sardinian dinner to kick off the trip.

Day 2 to 4: Climbing around Ulassai

Each day, we’ll depart from our villa, nestled in a lush setting with a small outdoor garden, to explore Ulassai's incredible climbing spots. These include the Canyon, Torre dei Venti, Su Sissu, Bauarena, and the historic Jerzu cliffs (among others). The specific locations will be chosen based on participants’ skill levels.

The program combines hands-on climbing practice at the crag with instructional lessons covering climbing techniques, safety systems, and mental preparation.

Day 5: New Year's Dinner

We’ll celebrate with a barbecue party at the villa featuring local specialties and Cannonau wine. Expect a festive evening filled with great food and new friendships! Approximate cost: €25.

Day 6: Last Day

After breakfast, we’ll say our goodbyes and head back to Olbia, where rental cars will be returned before catching flights or ferries home.
