Bruncu Spina, Mountain summit in Gennargentu massif, Sardinia, Italy.
Standing at 1,829 meters, Bruncu Spina features steep slopes covered with low scrubland formations and holm oak woodlands below 1,400 meters elevation point.
The name Bruncu Spina originates from Sardinian language, referring to either thistle plants from Asteraceae family or Prunus prostrata thorns growing on its slopes.
The mountain hosts multiple protected species including golden eagles, Bonelli's eagles, red kites, griffon vultures, and the endemic Sardinian wildcat population.
Visitors can access the summit through two maintained trails: the 5.3-kilometer Gennargentu T-721 and the 800-meter Arcu Artilai to Bruncu Spina T-721A path.
The mountain functions as a winter sports location with operational ski lifts on Fonni side and a moving walkway on Desulo side from December through March.
