Pevero Health Trail
The Pevero Health Trail is a 13-kilometer health trail created by Smeralda Holding in collaboration with the Costa Smeralda Consortium and the Pevero Golf Club.
The Pevero Health Trail was created out of love for nature and to share an unexpected Costa Smeralda with everyone. Its trails allow for intensive training, running, trekking, but also simple family walks. There are 11 stations on the trails, with equipment and benches, each named after a botanical species that characterizes the area. Along the trail there are some sites, ancient homes and settlements of rural Gallura that allow you to discover some aspects of rural life in the past. A nature trail, suspended between sky and sea, designed to savor the colors and scents of the Coastal Area, in the uncontaminated beauty of the Mediterranean scrub.
There are four starting points: Grande Pevero beach, Pevero Golf Club, Cala Liccia and Romazzino. Here hikers have the opportunity to walk along a totally uncontaminated promontory, where the colors of nature and the sound of the sea and the wind reign supreme.
The Pevero Health Trail is a health trail, mostly easy to follow, that winds through the Mediterranean scrub woods of the Costa Smeralda, touching the bays of Porto Liccia and Grande Pevero.
The main trails
Pevero Stagnu Trail
An easy walk that starts at Grande Pevero and allows you to admire the Stagno Patima and its fauna and ends at the Pevero Golf Club. The trail runs alongside the golf courses. The vegetation is typical of the Mediterranean scrub and its unmistakable scents: strawberry tree bushes, mastic, juniper, wild olive, myrtle, phillyrea, heather, broom, rosemary, viburnum, euphorbia… .
Difficulty: easy
Maximum travel time: about 1 hour
Pevero Cala Trail
It is a medium difficulty hike on the ups and downs of the Pevero dirt roads. It offers remarkable views and the landscape is constantly changing. It should be tackled with a minimum of training or without haste.
Some climbs have significant gradients.
Along the route, which can be accessed from 4 separate entrances, there are some fitness stations.
The entire landscape is dominated by the contrast between the blue of the sea, the blue of the sky and the green of the scrub.
Maximum travel time: about 3 hours and 30 minutes
Difficulty: medium
Pevero Stazzu Trail
This is the longest route. Recommended if you have a minimum of training, especially if you intend to reach the top of Monte Zoppu where there is a magnificent panoramic point, not surprisingly renamed Instapoint Costa Smeralda.
You immediately immerse yourself in the juniper forest that then gradually thins out, giving way to shrubs of strawberry tree, mastic tree, wild olive, myrtle, phillyrea, euphorbia, broom, heather, rosemary and viburnum.
After 1 kilometer in front of you you have the spectacle of the scrub that merges with the sea and in the distance the Island of Mortorio.
Along the route you reach Lo Rotu, an ancient granite farmyard used in the last century for threshing grain and you encounter several fitness stations.
About halfway along the route you find the Madonnina, a shrine of marine devotion in which there is a statue of a Madonna that was found in the sea in front of the coast.
The last point of interest before taking the way back (on a different path, the route is circular) is Lo Stazzu, an ancient family home dedicated to sheep farming. From here, through uncontaminated landscapes, you return to the starting point.
Maximum travel time: about 4 hours
Difficulty: medium
Full day experience
Departure: in the morning at 08:00
Return: about 16:00
A full day on the Pevero Health Trail, a total immersion in the Costa Smeralda that you do not expect, the uncontaminated one as it was discovered over sixty years ago and still intact, along all the stages of this route, a stop on the beach at Pevero and during the lunch break treat yourself to an aperitif based on local products: carasau bread, sausage, pecorino cheese, a good glass of cannonau.
The guides will offer a detailed explanation, throughout the day on history, traditions, habits and customs, flora and fauna.
