Punta Palai

Punta Palai reaches an elevation of 1,264 meters as part of the Marghine-Goceano range, featuring basalt, trachyte, andesite, and rhyolite rock formations.

The mountain area includes the archaeological site of Ortachis, which dates back to the Neolithic period around 3,000 BCE with religious significance.

The Welsh Piercy family influenced the region through the construction of Villa Piercy and the introduction of exotic plant species to the botanical garden.

The summit trek covers 9 kilometers with a 200-meter elevation gain, typically requiring three hours to complete through marked paths.

From the peak, visitors observe landscapes spanning from the Gulf of Oristano to Gennargentu massif, with views extending to Corsica during clear weather.
