Punta Giradili

Ogliastra's balcony: from Punta Giradili's 732 metres the view runs from Capo Bellavista to Capo Monte Santu, with Pedra Longa a pebble in the blue below. A half-day worth the whole trip.

Details and how to get there

## The route From the lay-by above Pedra Longa you climb the old shepherds' ledge — the same one that opens the Selvaggio Blu — then bend towards the Us Piggius sheepfold, rebuilt in juniper as a century ago.

From there the final ramp reaches the summit cross: 700 metres of air and the Tyrrhenian beneath your feet.

## Why do it It is the hike that explains Ogliastra in three hours: vertical limestone, junipers shaped by the mistral, griffon vultures riding the wall's thermals, the sea changing colour with the seabed.

It is also the best training for anyone dreaming of the Selvaggio Blu.

## Our tips - Best light: early morning, when the wall turns golden. - Poles help on the scree descent. - Pair it with a swim at Pedra Longa: 15 minutes down by car.
