The Trails of Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park

All the itineraries suggested by Arcipelago di La Maddalena National Park develop in Caprera Island, almost entirely along visible and well-marked trails connected among them by short stretches of asphalt road. They mainly consist of short routes with minimal differences in height you can confront without a particular training. If connected one with the other, they can also offer more demanding tours with considerable differences in height, suitable for more expert hikers. The walking time has been calculated considering an average pace and does not consider eventual stops to rest or to have packed lunch: therefore, it is approximate and can vary according to your training level and willingness to walk. In order to standardize the trail markers of the Park trails with the trail markers existing throughout the Sardinian, Corsican, and national territory, the C.A.I. markings have been used, with the red-white-red trail markers. The trails of Caprera are accessible all year long.

The best seasons to carry out these walks are autumn and, without a doubt, spring, when most plants are in bloom, the climate is mild, and the not very busy trails give the opportunity to "enjoy the awakening of nature" from a privileged point of view. However, the early hours of the summer days and the beautiful winter days offer the possibility to spend a few hours surrounded by precious natural environments. To walk along the trails of Caprera Island is not required a specific equipment: just a pair of comfortable shoes (trekking shoes or trainers), a waterflask, binoculars, camera, and a naturalistic guidebook. Do not forget, according to the season, to bring a bathing suit!
