If you’re after a more relaxed holiday in a fascinating and tranquil natural environment, then Sardinia is the perfect place for you, especially in low-season. Sardinia is a stunning island, with dramatic mountains in the interior and stunning coastlines. Anyone who has ever crossed the island or driven along the 1,800 km of coastline is sure to remember the diverse, fragrant and sometimes colourful nature that can unfold undisturbed here, defying the hottest summer and blossoming or reawakening in spring and autumn. Welcome to Sardinia in the low season! Here, you can take it easy in a wild and romantic natural setting, get to know the unique traditions and friendly people of the country, and have fun rediscovering the joy of discovery.
When you’re in Sardinia in spring, autumn or winter, the best way to get to know the island is to do a round trip. Whether you’re a couple or a family, on a self-drive round trip, on an active holiday or as a group, the experiences and adventures you’ll have during the tour will make every stage a moment of togetherness, and you’ll definitely be able to relax and reorient yourself. The island’s got everything you could want for active and group tourism: it’s nice and has mild temperatures in the low season, but not too busy like in the summer, so you can get out and about on sports trips, go exploring in nature and check out cultural sites. And of course, there are plenty of great places to eat!
The magic of fauna: surprising encounters in nature parks
If you’re looking to see wildlife in its natural habitat, away from the crowds, then low season is the best time to visit Sardinia. In the nature parks, an excursion becomes a journey into the wildest soul of the island: you’ll see deer and mouflons roaming the forests and valleys in autumn and winter, while the lagoons are populated by flamingos and other migratory birds in spring and autumn. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a monk seal on the more remote coasts.
Get ready for some adventure in the great outdoors!
For most people, a sports or group holiday means adventure, team spirit and pure emotion. And if you’re after a holiday with plenty of activities, the island has you covered. Trekking takes you through mountains and gorges, with amazing views, while climbing silent rock faces is a real challenge. A kayaking trip will take you to hidden coves and inaccessible sea caves that are often isolated in winter, while cycling tours are a sustainable and fun way to traverse trails and nature parks. Each of these activities offers a unique way to discover Sardinia.
Travelling in the low season: a choice that’s both conscious and affordable.
Travelling in the low season is cheaper and lets you enjoy a more authentic and sustainable experience. When there aren’t as many people in summer, you can get around more easily, enjoy the countryside without other people there and a more relaxed pace. It’s also the perfect chance to get to know the real Sardinia and take part in local events and traditions, like the Sardinian Carnival with its ancient masks and the equestrian tournament Sa Sartiglia in Oristano, or the Autunno in Barbagia, which is celebrated as the so-called autumn in Barbagia from September to December in loads of inland villages, not to mention the many culinary festivals dedicated to the island’s typical food and wine. Travelling in autumn, winter or spring means getting a true Sardinia experience and helping to boost tourism that respects the territory and strengthens its identity
