Overview

Step into another world and explore one of the deepest and most spectacular canyons in Europe. Carved between towering limestone cliffs up to 500 meters high, Su Gorropu offers breathtaking scenery and a powerful silence broken only by nature.

Nature at its purest
Hike through ancient forests of holm oaks and junipers, following crystal-clear streams. Discover rare endemic plants like the delicate Aquilegia di Gorropu, found only here.

You may spot a golden eagle soaring overhead or hear the distant call of a Sardinian deer. In quieter moments, watch for mouflons, the wild sheep that symbolize Sardinia’s rugged spirit.

What To Expect

Gola di Gorropu

We leave from Orosei before to start driving off-road to descend in the valley where the path begins. We start the hike wading the Flumineddu river to enter in the woodland formed by Olm oaks and Mediterranean scrub. Walking along the cliffs of Mount Oddeu we get the entrance of the Gorroppu canyon in less than 2 hours. You will be astonished walking by the rocky walls which rise for more than 400 meters over the river bed, the Gorrupu canyon is one of the deepest canyons in Europe!!! During the trekking you will discover the unique microclimate of the canyon that allowed the giant growth of some trees like the Phyllirea and the old Yew tree; there is besides an endemic grass, the Acquilegia di Gorropu, present in very few individuals inside the canyon. When the path becomes more rough the hike become harder, sometimes you have to use the hands to proceed through the boulders then, when it is no longer possible to go further, we get back on our steps.
