 SummitPost - Monti del Gennargentu -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
Sardinia's highest mountain range, the Monti del Gennargentu, is a very lonesome region, which has only one access road between the mountain towns of Fonni and Désulu.
The name: it derives from the saddle Arcu Gennargentu - silver saddle, named like this because the Gennargentu Ridge is more or less the only place on Sardinia, where you can encounter snow in winter.
The ridge crossing to Punta Paulinu is also very easy but further to the south you have to descend to Arcu Gennargentu and afterwards climb to the ridge between Punta su Sciusciu and Punta La Marmora, a saddle called Genna Orisa (at 1782m).
