Via Ferrata di Punta Plumare
Over the Orosei Gulf, the most panoramic and adventurous via ferrata in Sardinia
The Via Ferrata di Plumare is the most thrilling experience for adventure lovers in Sardinia. Accessible only through a trail that defies nature, it offers unique views of Cala Sisine and the Gulf of Orosei.
Starting from the wonderful beach Cala Sisine, the adventure continues on a via ferrata that winds along the imposing walls of Punta Plumare, up to the challenge of gravity on the great cliff overlooking the sea.
This path is not for everyone: it requires physical preparation, concentration, and respect for timing, with the exposed route and rope descents that increase adrenaline. But the unique experience is worth every effort, with the path entering the shade in the morning to offer a bit of relief from the sun.
In the end, four rope abseils bring us back to Cala Sisine, where it’s possible to conclude the adventure with a refreshing dip before returning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
nascosto
How hard is the Via Ferrata on Plumare's ledge?
A lot! ????
The Via Ferrata on Plumare’s ledge is, without doubt, the most demanding in Sardinia. Not just for the cabled part of the Via Ferrata, which develops horizontally on a ledge, but for the intricacy of the approach, the abseils, and the long return to the starting point. Consider driving to reach our meeting point in Baunei. Add one hour driving offroad to reach the beginning of the path. After that, add 2 hours walking to reach the Via Ferrata, 2 hours to traverse the ledge of Plumare, time enough for 4 rope abseils, and 45 minutes to reach the car. After all that, drive back if you can ???? Strain builds up!
Can we drive our car to Pranu 'e Murta?
Yes, if you have a 4WD. Normal cars are banned from accessing the road.
What should I wear to participate in the Via Ferrata di Plumare?
You should wear comfortable clothes, appropriate to the season. In the summertime, it is best to wear a technical t-shirt and shorts. Cotton shirts get wet and won’t dry out in time. It is necessary to wear hiking shoes with a rigid sole. The entire itinerary lasts almost 9 hours. It is fundamental to have a packed lunch, energy bars, and at least 2 liters of water per person. The path and the Via Ferrata are in the shade, therefore it may be chilly even in the summer. We recommend a soft-shell jacket as it is often windy.
Is it better to start from Cala Gonone?
If the weather is good, we would always recommend starting from Cala Gonone. The boat crossing from Cala Gonone to Cala Sisine is only a little more than 6 miles, doable in about 30 minutes.
Leaving from Cala Gonone saves many hours of driving. The only issue is the weather conditions. If it’s too windy, or if the waves are too high, it won’t be possible to have a boat transfer.
