Ability and fitness requirements for the Selvaggio Blu
Required is safe walking in sloping, pathless terrain, sure-footedness and fitness for 5 to 6-hour hikes. You should also have your fear of heights under control. Climbing skills are not absolutely necessary. Also, you need to bring willingness to adventure and team spirit.
The Selvaggio Blu
The secluded route runs along a stretch of coastline on Sardinia’s east coast, which is only accessible from land in a few places. Experiencing nature without crowds is guaranteed. The provision of food, sleeping bags and luggage is expensive and is done by boat from the sea.
Selvaggio Blu ‘Original’
It goes from south to north, from Santa Maria de Navarrese to Cala Sisine. After two days of warming up, it gets exciting, with via ferrata passages and abseils. No climbing skills are required for this original variant of the Selvaggio Blu. However, you should have a good head for heights.
Selvaggio Blu ‘Alpine’
This is also a two-day hike, but at a much more challenging level. Exposed via ferratas and long abseils provide thrills over the next four days. Experience in via ferrata climbing and abseiling is essential. Watch the movie below to find out if the Selvaggio Blu ‘Alpine’ is for you.
