An imposing limestone-dolomite massif rises in the territory of Oliena, in the central-eastern part of Sardinia: climbing it is an unforgettable experience. Its appearance is characterized by sheer limestone walls, towers, white pinnacles, caves and wide plateaus, rugged and bare at the summit, covered with holm oaks in the mid-section and adorned with olive trees, vines and almond trees in the valley.
Mount Corrasi is the highest peak of the vast and rugged Supramonte plateau, as well as one of the most evocative elevations on the Island. The challenging trails that cross it and climb up to 1463 meters are a sought-after destination for expert (and trained) trekking enthusiasts, who come to Oliena to climb it. From the Corrasi crest, you will enjoy spectacular views and a 360-degree panorama that reaches Nuoro, Orgosolo, Dorgali, up to the Cala Gonone coast and the Gennargentu. Flora and fauna complete the 'specialty' of a place with a Dolomite-like atmosphere: it would seem completely arid and desolate, but in reality, it hosts 650 botanical species, of which about 60 are endemic. A first-rate plant paradise that prompted the Italian Botanical Society to include the mountain in the census of biotopes of significant interest and where birds of prey such as the golden eagle, buzzard, queen's falcon, and peregrine falcon dwell, as well as the mouflon move freely.
