New Multipitches in Surtana

The combined work of the four most active climbers in Sardinia has given rise to four new multi-pitches in the Surtana Valley (Dorgali). The Climbers are the notorius Oviglia, Erriu, Motta and Peveri.

Surtana lays only 15 kilometers from Dorgali, on the way to the famous ancient village of Tiscali. Driving from town towards Tiscali or Gorroppu, reach the bottom of the valley and leave your car on the new parking space before the bridge over the Riu Flumineddu (this place is locally known as “S’Abba Arva”). Walk over the bridge and turn right, after about 300 meters you’ll see a sing indicating Tiscali to your left.
