16 km
3 hours of horse riding
Intensive horseback riding tour on the plateau Pradu for experienced riders.We’ll begin our trek by crossing a small stretch of town, then entering the shade of the forest.
Following the scenic road of Sos Pireddas, we’ll reach a very steep climb that we’ll have to tackle with our horses to reach the summit of Cuccuru ‘e Paza, a mountain located 1,092 meters above sea level. From its 360-degree viewpoint, we can admire the vast Barbagia region: the Gennargentu Mountains, with Punta la Marmora (1,833 meters above sea level), the highest peak in Sardinia, and the Supramonte mountain range.
On the way back, we’ll take a path that passes through an ancient forest of centuries-old holm oaks, located on Mount Sirilò. Here, we’ll see a beautiful archaeological site: the Domus de Janas (house of the fairies) of Oreharva, evidence of human presence in these areas since ancient times.
