introduction

Sardinia is the perfect venue for a cycling holiday, and our Coast to Coast package has been designed to bring you the highlights of this breathtakingly beautiful and cycling friendly island, its incredible landscapes, scenery and an interesting blend of cultures and cuisine.

highlights

Include great views of Corsica from the exclusive Costa Smerelda, The Luna like granite outcrops of the forested mountainous interior, an opportunity to climb the massive Monte Limbara (1300m), the hair raising cliffs of Capo Caccia, Alghero’s Catalan old town, the mediaeval riverside town of Bosa. However it’s not all sightseeing, rides are designed to be challenging and many coincide with stages from a variety of Pro races including the Giro d’ Italia and Giro d’ Sardegna.

profile

Pace and intensity are sociable, with café and lunch stops on route, and although there are opportunities for rest or easy days you will need to be relatively fit and fairly experienced to enjoy this coast to coast trip. The itinerary offers at least 2 riding groups every day, a support vehicle, nutritious lunches and sports drinks are all included on point to point days. Expect a minimum of 85km per day and up to 120km, with longer rides on demand! You can also ride our coast to coast as a 4 night guided holiday, self-guided tour or an epic short break.

accommodation

Three high quality 3 star hotels with pools and fine restaurants. Alghero and S. Teresa are both beach front. Bookings are based on half board (breakfast and one other meal). Additional accommodation is available after or before the trip.
