Rock Climbing in Sardinia

Climb Europe - helping to organize your rock climbing holiday in Sardinia

Introduction to Sardinian Rock Climbing

Sardinia has long being known as a rock climbing destination with its wild and spectacular rocky interior and coastline. There are now over 50 established crags across the island and new crags and routes are being continuously developed, mainly thanks to a local climber called Maurizio Oviglia. With its abundance of quality routes and great weather for climbing from October through to May, rock climbing holidays in Sardinia are only going to become more popular!

The largest climbing area is concentrated around the village of Cala Gonone on the east coast of the island near Nuoro, which offers some great sports climbing. Other popular areas include Domusnovas and Isili, which are both inland and offer mainly single pitch routes.

The island is very mountainous and offers all types of rock climbing from traditional, to sports as well as several bouldering areas. The sports climbing is mainly single pitch, though at Supramonte, situated between Dorgali and Oliena, there is big wall rock climbing area with many bolted multi-pitch routes up to 400m long.

This site mainly gives information about the various sports climbing and bouldering areas, to be found at sardinia.
