The section that goes from Arbatax to Gairo is part of the original Arbatax - Mandas line, which with its 159 km, is the longest tourist line in Italy, as well as the longest narrow-gauge in Europe.
At the moment this is broken into two sections for some works that are taking place along its section, so as to create two distinct lines, which from Mandas goes towards Seui (see line Mandas-Sadali-Seui 2022) and from Arbatax up to Gairo, with a distance of 62 km.
This line will allow you to start from the splendid Ogliastra coast up to its wild and uncontaminated hinterland, thus allowing you to know and explore the truest and most evocative part of our territory. The starting point is the small station on the port of Arbatax and in a slow climb it reaches the town of Lanusei, continuing to the Flumendosa lake and then crossing an area rich in vegetation.
Its speed allows you to fully savor the passages offered between the heels of limestone, the bridges, the period stations and the roadside houses. The whole line offers a succession of unique landscapes, a corner of Sardinia that you will not be able to forget.
