For thousands of years, the donkey has been one of man’s greatest allies. Not only for all the work these animals do but for the lovely rides they can take you on in the hinterlands of Sardinia’s Barbagia region.
In the case of the trekking adventure, we offer our guests a donkey. It can really make all the difference: Your ride is slow and deliberate, in tune with the rhythm of time and nature.

Here is the way to admire every corner of the area surrounding us and savour every detail. Donkeys are so calm and composed; they easily become friends with anybody – adults and children alike. We organize short walks of a couple of hours as well as excursions and trekking that last several days immersed in the Sardinian countryside and the magical Supramonte.

Our basic stops for sleeping and refreshments are the “cuiles”, the huts used by goatherds. Donkeys will accompany us on this adventure, helping us to transport our luggage and supplies. The spring and autumn are the best times of the year to take this trip because the climate is ideal and the colours that nature offer us make the landscape truly one-of-a-kind.

Our equestrian tourism guides Billia and Gianfranco will accompany you. They are however first and foremost shepherds who love animals and are, above all, devoted to the land of Sardinia. They are experts of the region and Supramonte who will skilfully take you trekking on donkey back to areas that are peaceful and charming. The Barbagia region and Supramonte are rare and unique places where the rocks harmonize with the sea and where Silence will embrace you in a relaxing environment. Just you and nature. You will also sample typical genuine organic products prepared directly at the Agripaules farm: cow and sheep cheese, cold cuts, fresh garden vegetables, Carasau and “moddizzosu” breads as well as homemade desserts.
