There is a massive mountain range covered in ages-old trees at the centre of Sardinia, the habitat of the royal eagle and the mouflon: the Gennargentu is a triumph of nature in a wild and pristine area.
In spring its prairies are graced with colourful sa rosa ‘e monte, or peonies, which in Antiquity were the only flowers to bloom on Mt. Olympus. And when the many bushes of thyme begin to bloom just before summer, the air is filled with their intense fragrance. Many trails lead hikers to magnificent panoramas such as La Marmora, Sardinia’s highest summit at 1.834m. The Gennargentu is a fairytale land in winter, when the snow whitens the peaks and everything seems to come to a halt.
Its villages are small gems set in the mountains, surrounded by the island’s oldest woods: Desulo, Tonara, Ollolai.
