I&#8217;ve led over 60 tours with clients from all over the globe, whether solo, with friends, in different sections, or exploring new variations. I&#8217;ve even rediscovered routes used by shepherds that few have walked.

To <strong>complete the Selvaggio Blu Self-guided<\/strong> requires much more. First and foremost, organization and attention to detail.

There are no natural water sources along the route, except for the river <em>S\u2019Erriu Mortu<\/em> (at the start of the first day) and the <em>Grotta dell\u2019Acqua<\/em> (on the third day). But these aren\u2019t 100% reliable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hiking on the hot Sardinian climate you\u2019ll need a lot of water, <strong>at least 3 liters per person per day<\/strong>, plus extra for cooking. If you want to conserve water, the <strong>Selvaggio Blu will turn from a trek into a true survival challenge.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, unless your goal is to join the Marines, I recommend not skimping and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/climbingsardinia.com\/en\/what-to-do\/selvaggio-blu-logistical-support\/\" title=\"selvaggio blu logistical support luggage transfer bags carrying selvaggio blu daily deliveries of water\">arranging for logistical support<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s better to lighten your load and have food and water delivered daily. Even better, arrange for <strong>two deliveries a day<\/strong> \u2013 one in the <strong>evening<\/strong> to bring you water, dinner, and gear, and one in the <strong>morning<\/strong> to pick up gear and trash, so you can <strong>walk light<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wcm9kdWN0Iiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjE4MTgwIn19@&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Logistic support for the Selvaggio blu&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;button_url&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#E02B20&#8243; button_border_radius=&#8221;5px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;15px||15px||true|false&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;tracciato-selvaggio-blu&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">THE SELVAGGIO BLU TRAIL<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the many variations, <strong>I believe the Selvaggio Blu route is only one<\/strong>: the one originally set out by <strong>Mario Verin<\/strong> and <strong>Peppino Cical\u00f2<\/strong> back in <strong>1987<\/strong>. There are countless possible variations, but they should always be understood as alternatives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Verin and Cical\u00f2 divided it into <strong>four daily stages<\/strong>, the fastest solution. <strong>Those who have never done the Wild Blue Trail<\/strong> often make the mistake of being presumptuous, and by looking at the daily kilometres, they think they can complete it in three days or even less. Don\u2019t make the same mistake. <strong>The route is not easy to follow<\/strong>, and even knowing it, the speed is always very slow.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8230;and why would it be so difficult?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, in <strong>Supramonte<\/strong>, the <strong>distance between two points and the elevation is not as important as the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">type of terrain.<\/span><\/strong> If you want to do the Wild Blue Trail on your own\u2014besides the difficulty of finding the correct paths\u2014you need to be ready to face <strong>easy sections of climbing<\/strong>, <strong>exposed traverses<\/strong>, and <strong>rappelling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you only consider the distance and elevation, the second day might seem like an easy downhill walk. But it\u2019s not. The descent of <em>Sisiera<\/em> and the canyon of <em>Tenadili<\/em> are so difficult that they can cost you hours and challenge even the most trained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the guides, we know how long it takes to walk between one point and another. We learn this in the field, and it\u2019s the only thing we keep in mind: time. Distance in Supramonte is secondary.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Selvaggio Blu on your own, in 4 or 5 days?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If well-trained, you can <strong>complete the Wild Blue Trail in 4 days.<\/strong> Below is the usual itinerary with the most beautiful stages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If it\u2019s your first time, I recommend planning <strong>five days<\/strong>. Many people try it in 3 days, but the success rate is very low. If you want to enjoy the trail and not spend your vacation anxious, plan to do it in five days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Consider that on the first day, you might arrive late at <em>Pedra Longa<\/em> or be tired from the previous night\u2019s travel.

Bacu Boladina is (or was)<strong> the hardest and most dangerous part of the entire Selvaggio Blu<\/strong> route. It involves a climbing section secured by an old steel cable, about 15 meters long, starting with an overhang. After that, there\u2019s a 2-meter-wide, 30-meter-long rocky chute with a 45\u00b0 incline. At the end of the chute, a carved log helps you climb up a 5-meter wall. If you&#8217;re in a small, fit group, you might give it a shot, but my advice is to take the new Masadorgittala variant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I personally re-equipped the <strong>Masadorgittala variant<\/strong> in 2019, retracing a path that local shepherds already knew about. The variant starts from the classic trail descending from Su Porteddu and climbs a rocky slope until you reach the start of a very exposed rock ridge. It\u2019s currently set up with stainless steel rings and a <strong>fixed rope about 30 meters long<\/strong>. For this section, all you need is a <strong>harness<\/strong> and a <strong>via ferrata kit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;b.

In 2014, Marcello Cominetti, Mario Muggianu, and Claudio Calzoni equipped a small via ferrata to cross the <em>Su Ledere \u2018e Goloritz\u00e8<\/em> spur, connecting Goloritz\u00e8 to Mariolu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If it\u2019s <strong>your first time doing the Selvaggio Blu<\/strong>, I strongly advise against attempting this variant. Here are two good reasons:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1 \u2013 <strong>It\u2019s not easy to get to.<\/strong> Reaching the via ferrata at <em>Ledere di Goloritz\u00e8<\/em> is quite challenging as it requires <strong>solid mountaineering experience on exposed traverses<\/strong> and a steady foot on steep scree.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2 \u2013 <strong>You won\u2019t be able to camp there!<\/strong> Due to the limited tent space at the Mariolu camp and the high influx of hikers, the Baunei municipality has restricted campsite bookings to guided groups only. I also advise against attempting it stealthily, as the guides at the camp might get annoyed and report you to local authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you really want to see Mariolu, I recommend making a detour on the morning of the fourth day, reaching it from the classic trail that passes through <em>S\u2019Arcu \u2018e su Tasaru<\/em> and detours at the top of <em>Serra \u2018e Lattone<\/em>. The trail from here is quite simple, and you can reach the beach in less than an hour from the detour. From the beach, you\u2019ll need to climb back up the trail and take a detour that leads directly to the descent before <em>Mudaloru<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any case, we have included tracks to get to Mariolu from Goloritz\u00e8 and to continue from Mariolu to <em>Mudaloru<\/em>. Note that before <em>Mudaloru<\/em>, a rope descent is required. There are two anchors: the first, further south, is only 20 meters long, while the second is 45 meters long.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;c.

It\u2019s about<strong> 35 meters<\/strong> long. If you use a single 60-meter half rope and stretch it to its limit, you\u2019ll end up about one meter from the ground. This is <strong>VERY DANGEROUS<\/strong>, as you risk falling, and you might also lose the rope as it snaps back up due to its elasticity.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if you get lost and come across an unknown abseil anchor, having two 50-meter ropes could get you out of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;calate in corda&#8221; module_id=&#8221;calate-in-corda-selvaggio-blu&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let&#8217;s analyze in detail the eight descents of the <strong>original Selvaggio Blu itinerary<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Day 4: from S\u2019Arcu \u2018e su Tasaru to Bacu Padente<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>20 meters<\/strong>\u2014The first rappel is at the bottom of the long descent on the Su Pentrosu scree. <span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> Many people mistakenly take the new 45-meter variant. After passing through the rock hole and down the chimney, immediately turn right and proceed along the wall. Going straight from the chimney will lead you to the 45-meter rappel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 meters<\/strong> \u2013 The second rappel is at the base of the <em>Grotta Cinque Stelle<\/em>. It is easy to find. <span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> if this rappel is occupied by other groups, another anchor is located about 50 meters further south.<\/li>\n<li><strong>25 meters<\/strong> \u2013 The third rappel is a rope on a juniper tree, on the summit of the spur overlooking the <em>Grotta del Fico<\/em>. <span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> this rappel can be avoided by climbing the spur and finding the old shepherds&#8217; route on an old <em>Iscala \u2018e Fustes<\/em>. This alternative is unprotected, requires proper gear, and is not recommended for novices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>20 meters<\/strong> \u2013 The fourth rappel is on the left edge of the <em>Arco de su Feilau<\/em>.

This is the <strong>longest rappel on the Selvaggio Blu<\/strong>. Two anchor points have been installed to allow simultaneous descent by two groups. <span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> there is an intermediate anchor halfway down the wall, allowing the use of a single 60-meter rope by splitting the descent.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>34 meters<\/strong> \u2013 Right after the <em>Plumare<\/em> landslide and the <em>Via Ferrata di Plumare<\/em>. The main anchor is preceded by a fixed rope. You can attempt this rappel with a 60-meter half rope, but be aware that at the last meter the rope will end, and you&#8217;ll need to climb down or jump. Be prepared to avoid losing the rope. Also, when retrieving the rope, it often gets stuck in a small crack 15 meters up. To avoid this, give it a jerk as it\u2019s about to come out of the anchor. <span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong>PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> 10 meters above this anchor, there is a second anchor equipped with a rope on an oak tree (40 meters). Do not follow the fixed rope beyond this anchor as it leads nowhere.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>20 meters<\/strong> \u2013 The final rappel with a view of Sisine beach, preceded by a fixed rope.<span style=\"color: darkred;\"><strong> PRO TIP<\/strong>:<\/span> There is another anchor (20 meters). To reach it, you need to stop 30 meters before the official anchor, just before the view of the beach, descend, and find a narrow passage through the bushes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;abbigliamento&#8221; module_id=&#8221;abbigliamento-selvaggio-blu&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||30px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Clothing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The usual mistake is to bring too many things. Understand that you\u2019ll end up smelling, so come to terms with this idea and pack as little as possible. The shirt you wear on the first day and at most two spare ones. The pants you wear and at most one spare pair, and so on. A light fleece for the evening if it\u2019s spring, a lightweight down jacket, and a rain jacket, socks, and underwear should suffice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Avoid unnecessary accessories that clutter your backpack and create confusion: no gloves, no beanies, no pajamas, no cotton towels, no bulky jackets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choose old clothes because the junipers in Supramonte love to tear new ones apart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Jacket:\u00a0 <\/strong>the best combination is a lightweight, compact down jacket + a 2.5-layer rain jacket, which should also be very lightweight and compact.

Therefore, it should always be paired with a rain jacket.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Shoes: <\/strong>when it comes to footwear, it\u2019s better to have something truly good.

Giving up caffeine and hot foods simplifies everything. You can leave behind the stove, pot, detergent, and water for cooking and cleaning. In any case, it\u2019s advisable to avoid food preserved in oil, as once opened, the oil will spread everywhere, even ahead of your movements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Below is an example of a diet that doesn\u2019t require a stove:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Breakfast<\/strong>: a pack of oats and UHT milk, enriched with fruit and nuts, and plenty of water to drink. Alternatively, just biscuits and water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Lunch<\/strong>: bread (Ozieri flatbread is the best), aged cheese, dried meat (sausage, ham&#8230;), nuts, fruit, and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dinner<\/strong>: to spend an evening with friends around a small fire, you can buy pieces of meat to grill with an improvised skewer (juniper twig). On the same fire, you can heat canned food like lentils or cook potatoes and onions. And then, like for lunch, bread, cheese, fruit, and vegetables (oranges with fennel are so good).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those who need coffee or other hot drinks in the morning, or simply prefer to cook pasta or pre-cooked foods, the options expand immensely. For breakfast, a coffee or tea, accompanied by biscuits, or bread and jam.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For lunch, you can replicate the previous list, while for dinner, you have a universe of possibilities.
