tour overview
Discover one of Italy’s most spectacular and undiscovered cycling destinations.
Our Sardinia Cycling Tour takes you on an unforgettable journey from the Catalan charm of Alghero to the vibrant streets of Cagliari, crossing some of the island’s most breathtaking landscapes along the way. Over nine days, you’ll experience dramatic coastal roads, remote mountain passes, ancient villages and the wild beauty that makes Sardinia unlike anywhere else in Italy.
We begin in Alghero, where stunning sea cliffs and the legendary road to Bosa provide the perfect introduction to the island. From here, we make our way into the heart of Sardinia, arriving in the highlands around Fonni and the rugged mountains of Barbagia, where traditions remain deeply rooted and tourism has barely touched daily life.
The journey continues into Ogliastra, a region often regarded as the cycling paradise of Sardinia. Here, challenging climbs such as Talana, Croce Boi and Genna Silana wind through some of the most dramatic scenery in the Mediterranean. Quiet roads, limestone mountains and panoramic views create days that will remain etched in your memory long after the tour has finished.
Our final chapter takes us to Cagliari, where a spectacular coastal ride showcases the island’s southern shoreline before we celebrate the week together over great food, local wine and stories from the road.
this is much more than a cycling holiday. It’s an opportunity to discover the authentic Sardinia through its landscapes, cuisine, culture and people.
We ride at a pace that allows us to stop for an espresso in a village square, enjoy long lunches featuring local specialties and experience the island as locals do.
From world-class coastal roads to remote mountain passes, this tour has been carefully designed to showcase the very best of Sardinia while maintaining the welcoming and social atmosphere that defines every In Giro experience.
Join us for nine unforgettable days, and discover why Sardinia is one of Europe’s most rewarding cycling destinations.
