🛫  4:00 PM – Welcome to Sardinia! Meet your fellow climbers and our friendly driver at Olbia airport for your pickup. Enjoy the scenic 80-minute drive to Cala Gonone, where we’ll set up base for an unforgettable week. We’ll drop you off at your chosen accommodation to settle in.

🙋‍♀️ 7:00 PM – Time to meet your guide. We’ll gather for a relaxed briefing to cover all the details about the climbing days ahead. Got questions? This is the perfect time to ask!

🌮 8:00 PM – Let’s kick things off with a delicious dinner. Join the team at one of the charming seaside restaurants along Cala Gonone’s promenade for great food and even better company.

🧗‍♀️ 9:00 AM – Let the climbing adventures begin!

Start your day with a peaceful breakfast before meeting your guide and the rest of the group. After a quick equipment check, you’ll be all set to head out to the chosen crag. On the way, we’ll stop by a local supermarket to grab some food for the day, then make our way to the crag.

Spend the day immersed in climbing, surrounded by stunning Sardinian scenery—possibly right by the seaside! And remember, it’s your holiday too. Feel free to take breaks, enjoy chatting with the group, or dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Sardinian sea for a refreshing swim.

Climbing, Climbing, Climbing 😎

🧗‍♀️ 9:00 AM – Another day, another adventure!

Gear up for another exciting, climbing-filled day. From scaling epic routes to enjoying the camaraderie of your fellow climbers, today is all about making the most of Sardinia’s stunning crags. Get ready for more unforgettable moments on the rock!

A flexible day—climb as usual, or take a well-deserved rest

This is a standard climbing day just like the others: our guides are available, and the group can head out to the crag to continue practising techniques and building on everything learned in the previous days. Anyone who wants to climb is welcome to join and enjoy another great session on the rock.

⛵🏊‍♀️ For those who prefer to take a break, this is usually the day when participants choose to rest and explore the area. You can join a boat trip along the Gulf of Orosei to swim in hidden coves and admire the massive cliffs soaring above the sea, or try other activities such as kayaking, hiking, swimming, or simply relaxing on the beach.

If you’d like to plan something different, just let us know—we’re happy to advise on the best options available.

🧗‍♀️ 9:00 AM – Back to the crag!

Another day to climb, explore, and enjoy! Sardinia’s amazing crags are calling, so get ready for more adventures on the rock with your group. Whether you’re chasing new heights or simply savoring the experience, it’s all about the joy of climbing.

🧗‍♀️ 9:00 AM – One last climb!

It’s our final day on the crags, so let’s make it count! This is your chance to send those projects you’ve been working on all week and conquer that line you’ve been dreaming about. Give it your all and finish strong!

🍕 8:00 PM – Farewell dinner

Let’s celebrate an incredible week together with a special farewell dinner. We’ll toast to our achievements, share stories, and dream up new adventures. Just be careful with the Cannonau wine—it has a way of sneaking up on you!

Staying close to the centre ensures smooth starts and avoids delays for everyone.

This is a small list of accommodations you can book:

On this week-long climbing camp, you can climb for up to 6 days 🧗‍♀️

Your climbing day may last up to 8 hours. Our guide will suggest a plan, according to the group’s preferences and choose whether to start early morning or soon after lunch.

If the weather gets too hot, the guide may decide to meet as early as 7 am and climb on a shady crag until the sun hits it at about 1 pm.

Alternatively, it is possible to take the morning off and climb in the afternoon. In this case, you’d meet the guide at 2 pm, and reach the crag as the shade arrives, climbing until sunset (8 pm approx)

Our 6-day climbing camp is designed for small groups of up to 12 participants. To ensure safety and a high-quality experience, participants are divided into two groups, with each IFMGA Mountain Guide looking after a maximum of 6 climbers.

The minimum number of participants is 4, but we’re happy to run the camp for a smaller group if everyone agrees to a slightly higher price.

🌦 In case of light rain, we may still be able to do a half-day climbing session if conditions allow.

☔ If the weather prevents climbing entirely, the guides can suggest alternative activities to make the most of the day. Options include exploring the stunning hiking trails around Cala Gonone or visiting some of the spectacular natural caves near town. This way, even on a rainy day, there’s still a chance to enjoy the beauty of the area.

All our Mountain Guides are IFMGA qualified and hold a full professional insurance. This will only cover all accidents that are caused directly by the guide.

If, for example, someone sprains their ankle while walking to the crag, it is best to have a personal insurance to cover eventual medical costs.

In addition, a good travel insurance policy would pay back if your flight is cancelled, or you have to cancel your holiday at the last minute.

A simple online search would reveal many companies that offer good Travel Insurances for Climbing Holidays.

In the unfortunate case that you have to cancel your booking, we may keep part of it as a voucher that you may re-use for a future booking within the same year. This is subject to availability, and if we would not able to accommodate your trip in the same year, the voucher will be automatically extended to the next year.

CANCELLATION REFUNDS

Over 2 months of notice: we refund 100% of what you paid

Over 21 days of notice: we will refund 80% of what you paid

Less than 21 days of notice: no refund

CANCELLATION BY CLIMBING SARDINIA

In the unlikely event that we may be forced to cancel a tour, we will refund 100% of what you paid.

Although cancellations from our side are rare, we advise all participants to always purchase insurance on flight tickets. This would guarantee no losses on your side.
