In fact, in Ogliastra there are hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of roads ideal for excursions of this type. It is possible to go on excursions and routes which are quite demanding (with highly pronounced rises and drops) or more simple itineraries which follow more even ground, but which will in any case excite intense emotions thanks to the surrounding countryside, far from any form of civilisation.
There are several qualified operators in the area where you can rent bicycles and helmets, in any case we advise you to go on guided excursions, with recognised expert tour guides.

You will always be accompanied by guides who hold appropriate licences. Places not to be found anywhere else in the world are just waiting to be discovered, on an incredible adventure...
BY OFF-ROAD VEHICLES
In Ogliatra it is also possible to go on unforgettable trips via off-road vehicles, following dirt roads through valleys and secular forests, by ancient mountains with lunch stops so as to experience the odours and tastes that only the cheeses and meats of the Gennargentu sheep farms can give, to get close to nature and an environment even for those who are not used to (or don’t enjoy) getting about on foot!!
In fact, excursions via off-road vehicles represent the best way to dive forcefully into wild and unspoilt nature, like that of Ogliastra, using comfortable transport, ideal for families, and also the best way to take in the surrounding environment.
