From Sassari, take the E25 southbound. After passing the village of Torralba on the left, merge onto the SP21, which you’ll follow for a short distance, until you reach a T-junction, where you turn left (onto the SP43) and continue along it to the Mercorai Rest Area. Pay close attention here, as a gravel road will soon branch off to the right—that’s where you’ll need to turn. You’ll recognize it by a small parking lot and several signs. Park here.

We continue on foot along the gravel forest road, staying on it until we reach a major fork. Here, we take the left path and continue to strictly follow the main gravel road, which climbs gently. The road then leads out of the forest, and to the left, a view of the summit of Monte Ras opens up. From here, we continue for just a few dozen meters, after which a grassy trail branches off to the left; we turn onto it. All that remains is an ascent across the meadow, and we’ll reach the summit.
