Oliena in brief – tourist information and more

Based on the Corrasi Mountain in the north-east of Sardinia the town of Oliena with ist 7,000 inhabitants makes part of the province Nuoro whose homonymous capital is about 10 km away. The village of Orgosolo is about 18 km away. The mountainous surroundings of Oliena are unspoilt and very interesting especially for activity holidays like trekking, mountain biking and climbing. We recommend to experience the Badde Pentumas Canyon and the cavity of Sa Orche and Su Entu.

Oliena is one of the centres of the traditional „Canto a Tenore“, a type of a cappella singing, which felt into oblivion and experiences nowadays a comeback. Wine-lovers shall taste the aromatic red wine „Nepente di Oliena“.

Worth a visit the spring of Su Gologone which is about 300 m away from the famous and homonymous country hotel.
