Selvaggio Blu on Sail Boat - SAIL & TREK - September 2025

From September 15 to 20, 2025
Trekking and sailing in the wild heart of the Gulf of Orosei.

An extraordinary experience that combines the adventure of trekking with the freedom of sailing.
We will sail along the eastern coast of Sardinia to tackle one of the most fascinating and challenging hiking trails in Europe: the famous Selvaggio Blu.

Our home for the week will be Moon Shadow, a spacious and comfortable 13-meter sailboat with three double cabins where you can relax each evening after intense days exploring cliffs, suspended trails, and the turquoise sea.

Thanks to the comfort of a sailboat, you are not required to participate in all stages, and if you get tired, you can rest on board and enjoy the ride.

You will be guided by Alpine Guide Marco Bigatti and skipper Edoardo Marchese, combining safety, experience, and a passion for nature.

What awaits you during the week:
• Explore the Selvaggio Blu trail accompanied by mountain professionals
• Experience sailing and learn the basics
• Immerse yourself in Sardinia's most authentic nature, amidst the sea, forests, and cliffs overlooking the blue

We'll sail and sleep aboard Moon Shadow, a Sun Odyssey 43 Legende.
