Abseiling Biriola Abseiling & Coasteering | Baunei, Ogliastra

We’re in the Supramonte di Baunei, at a place called Ololbissi — one of the most spectacular launching points on the entire Gulf of Orosei.

The adventure begins with a steep zigzag climb through the rocks, sheltered by a dense canopy of holm oaks and junipers. The forest keeps you cool on the way up — and builds the anticipation perfectly.

Then the limestone opens up, and you’re standing on the most dramatic viewpoint on the Gulf of Orosei. Time to get the ropes out.

The route includes multiple abseil descents, the tallest dropping a full 45 metres straight into the sea. The feeling of stepping off that edge — with nothing but blue water below — is something you won’t forget in a hurry.

But the descent isn’t the only highlight. Cool off with a swim in crystal-clear water, dry off in the sun, and take a breath. When you’re ready, hop aboard a rubber dinghy for the return journey along the coastline — one of the most beautiful stretches of sea in the Mediterranean.

And why stop there? The boat can drop you at Cala Sisine or Cala Mariolu for an extra swim at one of the most breathtaking beaches in Sardinia.

This experience is open to complete beginners. No prior abseiling experience needed — just a sense of adventure and a love of the sea.

You can reach it two ways: by sea, for a relaxed and scenic approach — or on foot, along one of the most surprising trails in all of Ogliastra.

The trekking route is unlike anything else in the area. The path features a series of hanging walkways and natural balconies, built from juniper timber using an ancient construction technique known as scala ‘e fustes. These wooden structures, crafted without nails or modern tools, were built by shepherds to navigate terrain that would otherwise be impassable.

Walking this trail feels like stepping back in time. Every beam and post is a piece of living history — a tangible trace of the ancient transhumance routes that shaped life in this land for centuries. A remarkable example of pastoral engineering that has outlasted everything around it.


Supramonte and the sea of Sardinia. If you need more reasons than that to come to Biriola, we can’t help you.

Your mission is simple: descend from the mountains to the beach. With the experienced guides of 25miglia leading the way, you’ll get there — and the journey will build in intensity with every step, every rope, every metre of air beneath your feet. The kind of experience whose echo stays with you for days.

This is the essence of abseiling at its purest. The moment your heart pounds on the edge. The slow, controlled descent down a vertical drop from spectacular height. And then — once your feet touch the ground — that enormous wave of achievement and euphoria that no other sport quite delivers.

You came down from the mountain. You made it to the sea. And you did it on a rope.

Beginners are very welcome on this experience — no prior abseiling knowledge needed.

The technical level is moderate and so is the physical effort — this is a route designed to be accessible, challenging enough to be exciting, and well within reach for anyone in reasonable shape.

One thing to keep in mind: if you choose to return on foot rather than by boat, the uphill climb back is a serious workout. A great option if you want to push yourself — but worth knowing in advance.

The only requirement? You must be at least 12 years old.
