Full preliminary programme


San Pantaleo excursion (included in the programme)

San Pantaleo is known as ‘the village of artists’, with its lively street market, traditional stazzi (rural dwellings), bohemian spirit, and iconic scenes from a James Bond film. Small but full of character, this granite village in the territory of Olbia stands on the Cugnana massif. Surrounded by wild nature near the glamorous Costa Smeralda, it offers spectacular views of pink granite hues — especially beautiful at sunset — and the emerald coast beyond.
This excursion is part of the programme and free of charge for all delegates and takes place on the morning of 6 May after breakfast. No separate registration needed.
