Difficulty level: easy to medium Length: 50 km Total ascent/descent: 720 m Altitude difference: 221 m
This tour takes you across the vast dune system just inland from the beach of Badesi. The area has been known since ancient times for the cultivation of fine grapes, and some wines from Badesi have received international awards and recognition.
Our journey follows narrow roads once used by smugglers. From there, we reach the small fishing village of Isola Rossa, where those who wish can enjoy a refreshing swim in the beautiful bay of La Marinedda.
Back on the saddle, we’ll ride along one of the most scenic and interesting roads in northern Sardinia, eventually arriving at more vineyards, specifically in Valledoria (La Muddizza district). Here, we will stop for a wine tasting.
