Aritzu

Aritzu spreads across the wooded slopes of the Gennargentu massif in central Sardinia, and this upland position has long set it apart from the island’s coastal towns. Chestnut and hazelnut groves surround the settlement, while the nearby mountains give the area a cooler, more wooded character than much of Sardinia. The town is associated with the traditional collection and trade of mountain snow; old snow pits recall an era when it was stored for use beyond the highlands. Autumn celebrations of chestnuts and hazelnuts keep local produce at the centre of community life.
