Monte Corrasi – Scala S’Arenarzu (B-402)

This beautiful ridge path connects the tallest peak of the Supramonte with one of the best access routes in the Orgosolo territory. It is one of the obligatory routes for great hikes across the limestone plateau.

Oliena: mountain surrounded by olive trees, forests and springs

A picturesque small town, between the Supramonte massif and the city of Nuoro, surrounded by rich limestone uplands, deep dolines, canyons and lush valleys. The surroundings of Oliena, a small town in the Barbagia district at the foot of Monte Corrasi (1463 m asl) 10 km from Nuoro, form a vast natural monument, an ideal destination for hiking and mountain biking. The town started from a Roman period settlement, founded by “rebels” such as the Ilienses who, according to Roman historian Sallust, were Trojans who had fled to the island. The town, with a population of about 7000 people, has been awarded the Orange Flag, a mark of distinction for Italian towns that excel in terms of natural and cultural heritage, craftsmanship and hospitality.

The trail network

A first trail-building project with regional funding (Programme Agreement for Supramonte interno - Su Suercone) was carried out in 2018 by Forestas in the municipalities of Oliena-Orgosolo-Urzulei-Dorgali. More recently (2022) Forestas completed and harmonised the regional hiking network in the municipality of Oliena, thanks to European funding (ERDF ROP). THIS ROUTE IS PART OF SENTIERO ITALIA (GRAND ITALIAN TRAIL), which crosses the entire Supramonte along the main ridges, including mount Corrasi.
