Coastal Trekking in Costa Smeralda

Mixed difficulty

The Costa Smeralda, in addition to being a summer holiday destination for VIPs, is also an ideal place for those who love hiking and taking a walk to discover the colors and shapes of nature. From autumn to spring, but also in summer during the cooler hours, walking between beaches, cliffs and Mediterranean scrub can be a fantastic and unforgettable experience. For this reason, more and more people are dedicating themselves to short walks or real excursions with trekking shoes on their feet along the paths of the Costa Smeralda.
