Sardinia has an endless network of dirt roads, double track and singletrack trails, The Transardinia itinerary makes the most of this opportunity. Guaranteeing an itinerary composed of over 80% of unpaved roads, providing at same time the chance to experience the best mountain biking and natural wonders of the island. The itinerary has been planned in order to get the best out of its potential and an almost total cyclability. Whereas most of climbs are gradual and over good gravel roads, the downhills we have selected are among the most exciting and technical trails Sardinia could offer. Nevertheless this experience wouldn't be a complete one if it didn't give the opportunity to know the real Sardinia. Transardinia isn't just about mountain biking, is also a journey through an island, its culture, its tradition and its people.
