Climbing holidays in Sardinia | Fantastic climbing by the sea

• Journey and tour itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival

    There are regular flights from Zurich to Olbia. You can reach Olbia by plane in just 1:30 hours. We meet at the airport and travel on together from there.

    Alternatively, you can travel by train and ferry. This takes around 1.5 days. The ferry runs overnight.

  • Day 1 - Arriving and climbing in

    We meet in Olbia and have a relaxed start to the week - with a first Italian espresso and a fresh cornetto, of course. We take this opportunity to get to know each other, share our expectations and get in the mood for the climbing days ahead.

    Afterwards we drive together in the direction of Cala Gonone, about 1.5 hours by car. We climb comfortably in a climbing garden on the way and enjoy our first contact with rock. The afternoon will fly by before we move into our accommodation in Cala Gonone in the evening. There will be enough time for a refreshing shower before we round off the day with a delicious dinner and plan the next few days of climbing together.

  • Day 2 - Climbing and training

    To get to know each other better on the rock, we start in a climbing garden. There we can brush up on safety-related topics and create a common basis for the coming days.

    Daily destination:
    All participants know their own skills and those of their counterparts. The rope teams are formed and everyone feels safe and ready for the climbing days ahead.

    Training content

    • Organisation in the climbing garden and for multi-pitch routes

    Evening planning

    In the evening, we plan the next day together.

  • Days 3 - 6

    We climb in various areas around Cala Gonone and enjoy the special contrast that Sardinia offers: turquoise blue sea, warm rock and Mediterranean flair. Over the course of the four days, we discover numerous climbing spots of varying degrees of difficulty and also repeat the techniques of multi-pitch climbing.
    A special highlight awaits us at Pedra Longa, where we climb an unforgettable multi-pitch route directly above the sea - with breathtaking views and the sound of the sea in our ears.
    In between, there is plenty of time to swim in the sea, stroll through Cala Gonone and savour the Italian joie de vivre.

    Target:
    We climbed in various climbing areas, improved our technique and learnt new things. We also refreshed or learnt multi-pitch techniques and applied them on a tour. A carefree time together is an essential part of the experience - and, of course, the fun must not be neglected!

  • Day 7 - Return journey

    The last day of our climbing holiday is open and offers space to relax and round off our time together in Cala Gonone. In the morning, you have the opportunity to do something individually - be it a last dip in the turquoise sea, a leisurely walk along the coast or a cappuccino with a view of the harbour.

    During the course of the day, we drive back to Olbia together in the hire car. From there, everyone can organise their return journey individually. Those travelling by ferry will of course be taken to the port. This way we can end the week in peace and quiet and look back on the memories of sun, sea and impressive climbing days.
