"The main hike to the Devil’s Saddle is a simple hiking route, ideal for amateurs and that won’t require much effort. You can get to the top in about 30 to 45 minutes and then linger around the area. It will take you the same amount of time to head down.
You will still need hiking shoes or good walking shoes (don’t hike in flip flops!) but it is not a strenuous hike. You can easily access the beginning of the trail behind Calamosca Beach – the opposite side is a military area, restricted to civilians.
The trail is marked by green dots you will find marked along the rocks. Throughout the hike you will find archeological remains, from Punic and Roman ruins to more recent ones including a Spanish watchtower from the 13th century. You will also get some impressive views, and once you are on top of the Sella del Diavolo you will have a broad vision of Cagliari’s Poetto Beach and area, all the way to Molentargius Nature Reserve.

"Good hiking area that overlooks Poetto beach!
It’s about 2 miles’ walk out of the city to get to the hiking area, so plan for that if you don’t have a car. "
