Often referred to as "Europe's Grand Canyon", the Gola Su Gorropu is a confined and sensational ravine, best reached by walking from the Genna 'e Silana pass on course SS125.
The 10.5 km trail strings past starkly weathered limestone inclines, rock apexes and bluffs blemished with caverns. Contorted holm oaks provides cool resort on hot days, however the scene is crude and uncompromising. As you plummet, the view airs out to uncover the passageway to the crevasse.
The gorge has 400m-high dividers of limestone, which shut out the sun and hushes the world outside. Take after the cairns for some simple bouncing over the stones that encompass the crevasse.
