Arrival and welcome to Jerzu
Comune di Jerzu - Accommodation in an inn with room and private bathroom, presentation of the program of the week, dinner and overnight in the hostel. Contact with Sardinian donkeys, weather permitting, donkey rides and visit the height of the small cottage of the forest rangers in charge of monitoring the fires. From this mountain we see all the hike we will do during the week.

This expedition on foot, with baggage-bearing donkeys, places you amidst the pristine nature, presenting genuine Sardinia: green oak forests, dense Mediterranean greenery, rivers and pure spring water sources tucked away in Sardinia’s tallest mountains.
You’ll encounter wild pigs, deer and characteristic Sardinian wildlife. If fortunate, we may spot mouflons, horses and raptors from afar. It’s also a chance to connect with local shepherds and the residents of these quaint villages.
The Sardinian donkey, unfalteringly patient and tireless, is the quintessential shepherd’s creature and ideally suited for our trek as it carries luggage. Usually, every two persons are assigned one donkey.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
