Five ideas for a rainy day

The weather in the Gulf changes quickly, and a grey day does not have to spoil your holiday. Here is what you can do indoors or under cover in and around Dorgali. Hours and prices change with the season: always confirm with the venue before you go.

Dorgali · Cave

Ispinigoli Caves

A stalagmite column about 38 metres tall, among the highest in Europe, in a cave that stays around 16 °C all year. The guided visit lasts about 40-45 minutes and involves nearly 280 steps. Tours are frequent in summer and much less so in the low season: check the official hours.

Dorgali · Museum

Dorgali Archaeological Museum

Finds from the area, from prehistory to the Nuragic period, to understand who lived in the Supramonte before us.

Dorgali · Museum

Dorgali · Wine

Dorgali Cantina Sociale

In the winery shop you can discover the local wines, Cannonau among them, and end the day with a tasting. For a guided tasting, ask the winery first.

When to stay away from the trails

In the rain, the gorges and streams of the Supramonte, such as Gorropu and the Codula di Luna, can swell suddenly. If a weather alert is active or it has rained heavily in the previous hours, postpone the hike and pick one of the ideas above. Mountain roads can be slippery: drive slowly.
