Sardinia is a motorcycle paradise with winding roads on the Costa Smeralda and dreamlike mountain routes in Gennargentu.
Sardinia is an absolute paradise for motorcycle travel. The winding coastal roads, such as the legendary Costa Smeralda, and the picturesque mountain routes of Gennargentu and Supramonte offer unforgettable views and riding pleasure. Set off to the hidden beaches and discover charming villages like Orgosolo, known for its impressive murals. OVERCROSS® ensures that your adventure remains exciting. Enjoy the freedom on two wheels and experience the diversity of this impressive island!
Our Sardinia motorcycle tours cover two different experience levels. The guided motorcycle tour with rental bike runs mostly on tarmac along coastal roads and through mountain villages such as Orgosolo, while the off-road motorcycle tour tackles gravel tracks in the Supramonte and mountain passes in the Gennargentu. If you can stand on the pegs, brake on loose ground and shift your weight confidently on gravel, the off-road tour is for you; the guided tour only asks for solid experience on winding country roads, even though a few stretches in the Supramonte hills get more demanding.
On the guided motorcycle tour with rental bike, a prepared motorcycle is waiting for you on arrival, so you do not need to bring your own machine. For the off-road tour you ride your own bike, provided it is fit for the terrain.
Both tours run 9 days and alternate short, twisting mountain stages in the Gennargentu with calmer sections along the Costa Verde and in the Gallura; on a compact island like Sardinia, the daily distances stay manageable. A typical day opens with a briefing on the stage ahead, GPS track included, before you ride through mountain villages like Orgosolo or along the coastal roads of the Costa Smeralda. Groups stay small, up to 14 riders on the off-road tour and up to 8 on the guided tour, with a guide accompanying you throughout the day before you reach your accommodation in the evening.
The off-road tour needs confident gravel and rock skills for the Supramonte and the mountain passes of the Gennargentu. The guided tour with rental bike runs mostly on tarmac through coastal roads and villages like Orgosolo and suits less experienced riders too, even if parts of the Supramonte hills feel tougher.
On the guided tour with rental bike, a prepared motorcycle is waiting for you, so you can travel without your own machine. On the off-road tour you bring your own bike, as long as it is fit for the terrain.
Both Sardinia tours run 9 days and mix short, curvy mountain stages in the Gennargentu with calmer, longer stretches along the Costa Verde and in the Gallura; on this compact island the daily distances stay manageable.
Mornings open with a briefing on the stage ahead, GPS track included, followed by riding through mountain villages like Orgosolo or along the coastal roads of the Costa Smeralda. Groups stay small, up to 14 on the off-road tour and up to 8 on the guided tour, with a guide with you throughout.
Sardinia's main riding season runs from April to October. The Gennargentu mountains only open up properly from May, while the coastal routes along the Costa Verde, the Supramonte and the Gallura are rideable from April. May, June, September and October give you the best mix of mountain passes and coast.
