S’Istrada Longa: Deep Canyons, Rocky Peaks, and Arduous Coastal Access<\/em><\/p>\n Visiting Baunei without walking S\u2019Istrada Longa<\/strong> is almost sacrilegious. This route reveals the life of these mountains and their inhabitants, where silence<\/strong>, voices<\/strong>, shapes<\/strong>, and scents<\/strong> merge into the essence of nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The itinerary of S’Istrada Longa<\/strong> was created by shepherds who used it to migrate their goats from the seaside lands to the higher summer pastures. Their paths’ will guide us through woody canyons to the vast arch of S\u2019Arcada Manna. Beyond, a narrow, exposed ledge at 100 meters high, lined with young junipers, offers breathtaking views.<\/p>\n S’Istrada Longa features deep canyons<\/strong>, massive crags<\/strong>, and amazing views over coastal cliffs. Century-old oaks<\/strong> and yew<\/strong> trees frame vibrant peony<\/strong>, foxglove<\/strong>, and helichrysum<\/strong> blooms. Above, golden eagles<\/strong> and kestrels<\/strong> soar, while hawks<\/strong> dive swiftly for prey.<\/p>\n Walking this narrow passage feels like crossing a Tibetan bridge, providing adrenaline rushes and spectacular canyon views.<\/p>\n \n S\u2019Istrada Longa is renowned for its long, exposed ledge halfway up a high vertical cliff. The ledge narrows to 40 cm, requiring participants to use their hands for balance.<\/p>\n Participants mustn’t suffer from anxiety, vertigo, acrophobia, or agoraphobia.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dmg_masonry_gallery gallery=”11372,11374,11370,11376″ columns=”4″ gutter=”0″ columns_tablet=”” columns_phone=”1″ columns_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dmg_masonry_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Meeting up and reaching S’istrada Longa<\/strong><\/p>\n We will meet in Baunei<\/strong>, at Piazza Indipendenza<\/a>, and from there we will go together to the starting point of the S\u2019Istrada Longa<\/strong> trail.

This itinerary speaks about the life of these mountains and of the people who dwelled here for centuries. It is the place where silences, voices, shapes and perfumes merge in a distilled essence of nature.\r\n\r\nDeep canyons, gigantic crags and arduous accesses to the sea: this is the\u00a0Supramonte<\/em><\/strong>.

On the other side of the arch, there\u2019s only one way to climb up the parallel canyon. This is a thin ledge found at about 50 metres of height, adorned with young juniper trees and a view that can take your breath away.\r\n\r\nWalking on this passageway, so narrow and exposed, feels like crossing a Tibetan bridge. It gets really narrow in some parts, offering adrenaline rushes and spectacular views of the canyon below.\r\n\r\nImportant Note<\/h3>\n
