For those lovers of "different" vacations who prefer healthy walks in the forest instead of sunning in the beach, Sardinia offers 62,000 hectares of forests divided into 22 regional forests, a natural patrimony which is extremely interesting due to the flora and fauna that live in their original habitat.

Only by hiking along the ancient trails created to transfer flocks of sheep across the mountains for grazing is one able to reach the innermost protected areas of the island.

Sardinia is the paradise of excursions where it is possible to delve into the verdant, fragrant world of the Mediterranean undergrowth or spot splendid examples of moufflons, deer, wild boar, foxes, wild horses, and rare species of birds such as the Royal eagle and the falcon.
