Nice and not so difficult walk but amazing view point
Absolutely amazing place... just 20 minutes easy climbing from Calamosca side. Beautiful view, fresh air and feeling of history... 100% to visit! P.s. from the top i cant see the tiburones...
Hiking Sella del Diavolo this summer was an unforgettable experience. From the start, the salty sea breeze and the scent of wild herbs set the mood for adventure. The trail, though a bit challenging under the sun, was worth every step. As I climbed higher, the views became more breathtaking—endless turquoise waters, boats dotting the coast, and Cagliari in the distance. Reaching the top felt like standing on the edge of a dream. After the hike, I cooled off in the crystal-clear, warm sea below, a perfect reward. Floating there, gazing up at the cliffs, I felt pure happiness. Sella del Diavolo is a must-visit—a place where nature’s beauty leaves you speechless. If you're in Sardinia, don’t miss it!
Nice hike for most everyone (once you arrive). Public transport will take you about 2 miles away you would have to walk the rest or via other transportation. For the adventurous folk you can climb down the back side.
Even ideal for an late afternoon run A nice promenade to the nearby sleeping lady mountain range. There is no official path to reach the peak, as the military base blocks the entire northern side. But following locals late afternoon, there are few wild path to lead you to the Sela del Diavolo, one of the ruins on this hill range. Searching for a path to reach to the peak, which seem to be the “official” hiking route, turned out to be non-existent. Ventured along the miliary base where I found a wild narrow path thru the forest to reach the top stone plateau. Fabulous view, 360 degrees … with some left over Roman Ruins and the famous nuraghe buildings, main type of ancient megalithic accommodation / towers dating back to the Nuragic Age between 1900 to 730 BC. Don’t miss to crowl thru some spikey cactuses to reach the chalk-cave, called Sella del Diavolo. There are approximately 7,000 nuraghes left in Sardinia today. Turning time back 4,000 years ago amongst such a scenery is truly a unique experience. The official path, flatter and easier-to-walk path, is leading to the Calamosca Beach. It was a Sunday, so the Disco tunes and party was on early afternoon till late night. Long queues, traffic jam and many happy party-lovers. Walking back to the Poetto beach took like 4 – 5 km … definitely a detour, but no other choice, unless driving by motorcycle or car.
