Esedra Escursioni: hiking, the Trenino Verde and experiences in Sardinia

🔶 Esedra Escursioni: discovering the most authentic side of Sardinia for over twenty-five years

There are places you visit.

And then there are places that can only truly be understood by walking through them, listening to the stories of those who live there every day, and letting yourself be guided along paths, through villages and across landscapes that preserve the very essence of Sardinia.

It is precisely this philosophy that, since 1998, has guided the work of the Società Cooperativa Esedra, a leading organisation in environmental and cultural tourism based in Macomer.

Excursions, trekking, trips on Sardinia’s Trenino Verde, guided tours, educational workshops and experiential activities: every activity is designed with a specific aim in mind – to bring the local area to life through authentic, sustainable experiences that are accessible to all.

🔶 Did you know?

Since 1998, Esedra has been guiding thousands of visitors on a journey of discovery through Sardinia via excursions, treks and cultural itineraries. Among the most popular experiences are trips along the historic route of the Trenino Verde Macomer–Bosa, one of the island’s most picturesque tourist railway routes, occasionally enhanced by the presence of the historic 1913 Bauchiero carriage.

🔶 A different way to discover Sardinia

Esedra doesn’t just organise excursions.

It guides residents and visitors on a journey of discovery through a Sardinia that is often off the beaten track, showcasing the natural, archaeological, historical and cultural heritage of Marghine, Planargia, Montiferru and numerous other parts of the island.

Each experience is designed to foster a direct connection with the local area, promoting a form of tourism that is unhurried, mindful and environmentally friendly.

🔶 Hikes and treks all year round

Every season reveals a different side to Sardinia.

For this reason, Esedra offers a programme of excursions that runs throughout the year: from spring treks amongst the blossoms of the Mediterranean scrub to autumn walks in the woods, right through to summer and winter experiences dedicated to exploring the island’s most picturesque landscapes.

The activities are designed to cater for a range of needs, with routes suitable for experienced hikers as well as families, groups and nature lovers.

🔶 Experienced guides and in-depth knowledge of the area

One of the defining features of Esedra is its strong ties to the local area.

The guides lead every excursion with professionalism, expertise and passion, transforming a simple walk into an opportunity for discovery, conversation and deeper understanding.

Each itinerary is inspired by first-hand knowledge of the places and a desire to showcase the authentic side of Sardinia, which is often off the beaten track.

🔶 Sustainable tourism that puts the local area at the heart of the experience

Walking at a leisurely pace, respecting the environment, supporting local communities and promoting the island’s cultural treasures are the principles that guide every activity offered by Esedra.

A form of tourism that looks to the future without forgetting the past, helping to protect and promote Sardinia’s heritage.

🔶 Why choose Esedra Escursioni

Choosing Esedra means choosing much more than just a tourism organisation.

Whether it’s a trek along the Marghine trails, a journey on the Trenino Verde, a guided tour or an educational workshop, every activity is based on the same idea: to turn a simple outing into a memory that will last a lifetime.
