The island of Asinara is becoming increasingly inclusive and accessible, allowing people with disabilities to enjoy its beauty. This is demonstrated by the "Nature Without Barriers" event, which, for the eighth consecutive year, returns to the National Park on Sunday, June 14th.

An initiative born from the sensitivity of local associations and those from other parts of Sardinia , 230 people, including volunteers and disabled people, are participating in the initiative dedicated to shared hiking and the accessibility of nature trails. The initiative is organized, under the patronage of the Municipality of Porto Torres, by Atena Trekking in collaboration with the Turritana Volunteer Council as part of a broader national project promoted by the Federtrek - Hiking and Environment Social Promotion Agency, with the aim of making nature accessible to all, without distinction.

The event is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Asinara National Park Authority, the Delcomar Navigation Company, the Avis 112 operators, the Sinuaria and Sealand Park operators, Azen Kayak, the I Sette Mari diving school, Cormorano Marina, and the many volunteers who will help ensure that all non-self-sufficient participants can discover and experience the environmental riches and unique features of the Island Park.

The details of "Nature Without Barriers" were presented this morning in the Sala Vassallo of the Palazzo del Marchese, in the presence of Mayor Massimo Mulas, Romano Chessa, President of the Atena Trekking association, and Adonella Mellino, President of the Volunteer Council. Also attending the meeting were Vittorio Gazale, Director of the Asinara National Park, Walter Chiarabaglio, President of the Porto Torres Avis association, Gianluca Utzeri, Captain of the Sara D ferry, and Cristina Bonino of the I Sette Mari diving center. The "Nature Without Barriers" group will set sail from Porto Torres at 8:30 a.m. to Cala Reale, the base for the initiative's activities. After disembarking, participants will be greeted by volunteers from participating associations who will accompany them along the National Park's trails, including those designed for people with disabilities, such as the blind trail and the path leading to the Ossuary beach, which is also accessible to wheelchair users with the assistance of a companion.
