Situated within the Porto Conte Nature Reserve, the city lives in perfect harmony with the wealth of flora and fauna that surrounds and embellishes it.

 

The Reserve – which encompasses a total of 5,300 hectares of landscapes unlike any other in the Mediterranean – offers even the most experienced visitors a plethora of new, sustainable excursions, taking in everything from climbing and "vie ferrate" (mountain routes equipped with fixed cables, stemples, ladders and bridges) to paragliding, off-road mountain biking and trekking.
