Ogliastra is one of
Sardinia’s most beautiful and famous regions for
climbers. The limestone areas of the Supramonte and the
Tacchi of Jerzu, once thought of as two separate areas,
are now considered by climbers as a single climbing area.
The mythical Aguglia, symbol of climbing in Sardinia and
perhaps the whole Mediterranean, Jerzu, Ulassai and
Osini’s finely-chiselled shields of rock, the busy crags
of Villaggio Gallico at Baunei, the demandino and
vertiginous walls of Punta Giradili: by now Ogliastra is
a real microcosm able to satisfy even the most demanding
climber, where’s it’s possible to find everything, and
able all climb in all seasons and weather conditions.
Even in summer, when it was thought to be too hot for
climbing, the climber will find in the canyons of
Ulassai and Osini the fridge that he or she is looking
for after a relaxed morning on the beach.Ogliastra is a
candidate, therefore, for the Paradise for the climber
who’s interest goes from boulders to big walls, without
having to ever travel more than a half-hour by car. An
immense adventure playground in Italy’s least
contaminated wilderness! |
