Description

Adventure awatis in Selvaggio Blu, where we'll embark on an mesmerizing trekking tour along the rugged coastline of Sardinia, Italy!

Enjoy a thrilling combination of hiking, scrambling, abseiling, and climbing, on what is considered as one of the most difficult treks in Italy. Hike through forests, over hills, and across rocky outcrops, with plenty of opportunities for swimming and exploring along the way.

Start at Pedra Longa and hike across Punta Giradili to Porto Pedrosu. Swim, have dinner, and camp overnight. Wake up early the next day to continue hiking a shorter section of trail with some scrambling to Punta Salinas, a great spot for views of Cala Goloritze.

Then we'll encounter one of the toughest and most beautiful stages of our trip! Hike up the Boladina canyon with an easy climb and then do a short and stunning via ferrata. Follow high-altitude trails, dizzying hairpin bends, and spectacular passages under caves rich in concretions, to Bacu Mudaloru cove.

Skirting Bacu Mudaloru on its left bank, reach the plateau near Ololbizzi. Then, skirting Serra Ovara from the sea side, reach Sa Nurca. Three abseiling descents lead first to the great forest of Biriala and then to the beautiful beach of the same name. Swim, have dinner, and camp.

On the last day, we'll continue through the bush of Biriola and Orronnoro and then tackle the rocky ramparts blocking access to Cala Sisine through ledges and climbs. From here, it won't take long to reach Cala Sisine.

The Selvaggio Blu is a technical trek, and participants should be experienced in all aspects of hiking, scrambling, and abseiling. However, the rewards are well worth the effort, with stunning views and the opportunity to experience some of Sardinia's most remote and beautiful coastline.

Mountain Guide

Since I was a boy I always had a desire to climb, following paved and unpaved roads to reach a peak. My bike took me around the world, exploring remote corners of the Earth. There is a special combination of solitude and beauty that lies in a desert road laid out under two wheels. I started my career as a cyclist, but also in my heart were the mountains and a good dose of self-challenge, with activities like triathlons and ultra distance mountain running.

After a Masters degree in Forestry Science and few assignements around Europe as Lab Manager, I realised that my love for the mountains, outdoors, and the desire to share this world with other people was too strong to be restricted only to the weekends.

Becoming a Mountain Guide was my answer! Living by the outdoors and sharing my passion for adventure. In life we are all faced with tough choices. The decision to train as a guide, to share my knowledge about mountains and help people safely achieve their dreams is reinforced each day with the experience I share with my clients.

We are each unique, in our dreams, experience and ambitions. Every season brings a new opportunity for adventure! Ski touring, freeride skiing or iceclimbing in winter; then, as the snow melts we go to the mountains for mountaineering, rock climbing, hiking and trail running.

Tell me about your ambitions,whether it is a one day, one peak, one face or couloir to a multi-day expedition. I offer customized programs tailored for each of my clients.

Let’s go for an adventure!

What people are saying about Federico

Bryan

Fantastic trip, Fede is an exceptional guide who I hope to do more adventures with, friendly, inspiring and supportive (he helped me with some travel advice as Mont Blanc tunnel closure nearly cost me the trip). I would thoroughly recommend this trip for anyone who enjoys tough and immensely rewarding challenges in the Mountains. You definitely need a high level of mountain fitness. Mountain running experience will certainly help and an enjoyment in up and down summit pursuits compared to multi day ascents.

Giovanni

Federico è una bravissima persona, molto disponibile e super allenata. Nonostante avessi un pò di mal di montagna e un fastidio a una caviglia a regolato comunque bene i tempi consentendoci di svolgere salita e discesa in piena sicurezza. Consigliato per questo tipo di escursioni o altre avventure.

Albert

Things you can’t control - the weather Things you can control - hiring the best guide in the Aosta valley who can come up with plans and alternatives to allow you to still have a really brilliant time in the mountains I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Federico to anyone after a trip in June 2024. He’s a really reassuring presence and great company too

Catia

We were very lucky to go on an amazing skitour to Gran Paradiso with Federico. He was an incredible guide, friendly, frank and honest. He put us at ease and was extremely flexible. We're very grateful to him and won't hesitate to call on him again for another trip! Thanks a lot!

Antoine

Super ski touring trip around aosta with 2 x 4000m in 2 days (Gran Paradiso + Monte Rosa). Fede is a really nice guy and guided us wonderfully. He is also very aware of avalanche risks so we had to modify our plans to go to Monte Rosa instead of Valgrisenche because it was too hot and too exposed. Would definitly recommend this guide and this trip :)
