Location
Monte Ortobene rises immediately above Nuoro and is the city's own mountain. Holm oaks, strawberry trees and large granite boulders shape its slopes, while short trails lead to viewpoints over the Cedrino valley towards the Supramonte and Monte Corrasi. The bronze statue of the Redentore stands on the summit, destination of the great procession at the end of August. The mountain is a Natura 2000 site and the easiest way to experience Barbagia's mountain nature.
Highlights
- Holm oak forest on granite
- Views over the Cedrino valley and Supramonte
- Redentore statue on the summit
Tips
