About this tour
Climb Punta Cupeti, a 1,029-metre peak near Montalbo in Sardinia, following ancient shepherd routes through mountain terrain. This 4–5 hour outing pairs a moderately paced trek with regional food and wine at the summit, timed for sunset views across the landscape. The route includes 45 minutes of uphill walking with panoramic steps; descend via a natural spring where locals still drink fresh water.

- Pane carasau, Sardinian cheese and sausage at the peak
- Sa pompìa: locally-made citrus dessert unique to Siniscola
- Natural mountain spring with cold water on the return
- Sunset vantage point over endless valleys

What to expect
Expect a steady uphill walk on established mountain trails for about 45 minutes (1.5 hours return). The final section features stepped terrain that opens onto panoramic views. You'll move at a comfortable pace, stopping to examine old shepherd relics along the way. At the summit, sit down to eat bread, cheese, cured meat and dessert whilst watching light fade across the landscape, accompanied by regional wine. The descent retraces your steps, with a break at a spring-fed pool where you can refill and rest.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; avoid if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or managing cardiovascular concerns. Wear supportive shoes and bring a layer—mountain air cools quickly at sunset. The walk is not technical but does climb steadily. Food and drink are included.
