Pevero Health Trail, the trail to discover all the beauty of Gallura

A network of dirt roads that cross the most authentic and wildest part of the Gallura coastline

They’re named after the typical plant species of the mediterranean maquis: lavender, rosemary, cistus, myrtle, lentisk, broom, strawberry tree, juniper, euphorbia, honeysuckle and tamarisk.

These are the eleven fitness stations that punctuate the Pevero Health Trail, a wellness pathway that begins in the Pevero and Romazzino area and runs for 13 kilometres, taking in the bays of Porto Liccia and Grande Pevero. A network of unpaved tracks surrounded by unspoilt nature that crosses the wildest and most authentic part of the Gallura coastline in the north-east of Sardinia. Inaugurated some years ago by the Costa Smeralda Consortium, the hiking trail - which can also be enjoyed on a mountain bike - winds across the Monte Zoppu promontory. 300 hectares of rocky landscape, from any point of which you can admire the bays and inlets of the coastline while immersed in a multitude of colours and smells of the luxuriant plant life.

Pevero Health trail (ph. Dario Garofalo)

There are two routes to challenge walkers: the Energy path, seven kilometres with a series of fitness stations, and the Relax path, also seven kilometres, which follows the ancient tracks and typical dry stone walls.

Along the way you can visit the small Madonna dello Speronello on Grande Pevero bay, which commemorates the tragic flood of Montalto di Castro. Later you come to Lu Rottu, where wheat was once processed, and the Stazzo di Monte Zoppu, testament of the ancient farming and herding tradition of this part of Gallura.
