3 easy hikes to do in Sardinia in spring

Sardinia in spring is an ideal time for those who love being outdoors: pleasant weather, vibrant blooms and spectacular views. If you are looking for easy hikes in Sardinia, suitable for everyone and without dangerous routes, here are three perfect ideas for a scenic walk among the sea, history and nature.

1. Chia Ponds: a paradise among pink flamingos and golden dunes

Where: Chia, southwest Sardinia
 Duration of the hike: 1-2 hours
 Difficulty: Easy

Chia Ponds is one of the ideal stops for a relaxing spring walk. A short walk from the coast, among the dunes and Mediterranean scrub, are these bodies of water populated by various species of birds, including pink flamingos, the absolute stars of the season.

Recommended route
 The path skirts the lagoon and reaches Su Giudeu beach, one of the most popular beaches on the island. An easy trail, suitable for everyone, perfect for a day of birdwatching or a relaxing walk overlooking the sea.

Why go there in the spring?

The blossoming Mediterranean scrub makes the landscape even more attractive, the temperatures are ideal, and you can enjoy the tranquility before summer.

2. Valley of the Moon: a moonscape in northern Sardinia

Where: Santa Teresa di Gallura, northern Sardinia
Duration of the excursion: 2-3 hours

Difficulty: Easy

The Valley of the Moon, located in Capo Testa, is one of the most picturesque locations in Sardinia. This hidden corner owes its name to the huge granite rocks shaped by the wind, which create an almost surreal landscape.

Recommended route
 The trail traverses the valley among granite boulders, paths surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and small hidden coves. The walk is easy, with incredible views that seem to belong to another planet.

Why go there in the spring?

The heat is not yet too intense, and the valley is filled with color, with myrtle and juniper blossoms perfuming the air.

3. The forest of Montes and the nuragic village of Tiscali.

Where: Supramonte of Oliena, central Sardinia
Duration of the hike: 3 hours
Difficulty: Easy-Medium (but suitable for everyone with comfortable shoes)

For those who love history and nature, the perfect excursion in Sardinia is to discover the Nuragic Village of Tiscali. This unique archaeological site is located within a natural basin in the heart of Supramonte and offers a walk immersed in the green Montes Forest.


Recommended route
We start from the forest parking lot and walk through centuries-old oak and holm oak forests before reaching the Village of Tiscali, an ancient Nuragic community hidden in the rock. The trail is atmospheric but accessible to all with appropriate footwear.

Why go there in the spring?
