Trekking in Sardinia is so much more than just following a trail. It means being surprised by ever-changing landscapes, listening to the sounds of nature or the murmur of the waves along the coast, and meeting people who preserve traditions.
When you hike in a group, the experience takes on a special significance. The effort becomes easier, the views become shared memories and each stage is an opportunity to get to know each other better.
So, how can you organise a group trekking tour in Sardinia? Read on for a practical guide with ideas and useful tips to make your trip unforgettable.
How to choose the right route for your group
Selecting the right route is the most important part of organising a group tour. It determines the pace of the tour, the satisfaction of the participants, and ultimately the harmony of the group that develops along the way.
Not all hiking trails are the same, and not all groups want the same thing. Some want to test their limits, some prefer to enjoy the view at a leisurely pace and some want to fill their trip with cultural stops and authentic encounters.
In Sardinia, the variety of hiking trails means you can tailor the route to each group’s needs:
- Coastal trails such as the Cammino delle 100 Torri offer stunning sea views and are perfect for those who want to combine hiking with relaxing on the beach or visiting fishing villages.
- More challenging routes, such as the Supramonte hiking trails or the famous Selvaggio Blu, are ideal for experienced and well-trained groups seeking adventure and untamed nature.
- Cultural and spiritual trails, such as the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara and the Cammino di Santu Jacu, combine trekking with immersion in history and traditions.
The golden rule never changes: choose a route that matches the group’s average level. It is better to have balanced and enjoyable stages that everyone can enjoy than to have overly demanding routes that could cause difficulties for some.
The best time and pace for group hikes
The choice of season and pace has a greater impact on the hiking group’s experience than one might think.
In spring, the ever-present Mediterranean maquis has a particularly intense smell, and the temperature is ideal for easy hiking. In autumn, the warm colours and mild air invite you to enjoy each stage at your leisure. Summer and winter have a special charm, but require caution. In summer, it is preferable to hike in mountain areas or along short coastal stretches due to the higher temperatures, while in winter, the paths are more intimate and quiet. However, you must pay attention to the rather changeable weather.
Regardless of the season, the secret is to find the group’s rhythm: balanced stages, generous breaks, and a pace that allows everyone to arrive together. After all, when travelling together, what matters more than the distance covered is the harmony that develops along the way.
Logistics, breaks and preparation are the secrets to a carefree trip.
Behind the ease of a successful tour lies good organisation. This is even more important in a group. It is important to ensure that luggage is transported from accommodation to accommodation. In Sardinia, direct connections are not always available, but with optimal local support, you no longer have to worry about logistics.
The choice of accommodation and food can influence the experience more than one might think. It’s not just about finding somewhere to sleep, but about choosing places that become an integral part of the journey. Examples include an agriturismo along the route where the hosts share their stories over homemade pasta, a shared dinner in a small village and a cosy breakfast in the countryside before setting off again. These moments will remain in your memory just as much as the views because they give the group the opportunity to experience Sardinia while enjoying themselves, not only while hiking.
And finally, there’s the preparation. A shared checklist ensures that everyone sets off with the essentials: reliable shoes, a lightweight rucksack, a water bottle and sunscreen. However, the most important thing is the attitude with which you hike together: looking out for each other, helping those who are feeling exhausted, and respecting each other’s pace. It is these small gestures that transform a group of travellers into a real team.
Why organise a tailor-made trekking tour?
Every group is different. Some like to cover long distances, while others prefer short stages. Some seek spectacular views, while others want to enrich the route with cultural visits or food and wine experiences. There is no standard route that suits everyone. The real challenge lies in choosing a route that best suits the group’s rhythm and desires, thus ensuring that the journey is both personal and collective.
By relying on those who know the hiking area, you can be sure that every detail will be taken care of, from the stages and logistics to the additional experiences that will make the hike even more interesting. This allows the group to focus entirely on the pleasure of hiking together, free from any worries.
