Parking at the La Penna viewpoint, hamlet of Sari, only five spaces available, so arrive early or start the circular at the car park before the monastery (see practical information).
(S/E) With your back to the orientation table, walk along the road for about 100 metres.

Yellow markings
(2) Take this path on your right, also known as Sentier de l'Eau. Go downhill, turn right at the low wall and continue left at the fork. At the next intersection, continue left. Walk for 1.5 km along this path. Discover ancient charcoal production sites. The path turns left and climbs just before joining the track.

Further on, pass a cistern on your left and walk to the intersection with a signpost.
(5) Turn left towards Monte Santu until you reach a path on your left.
(6) Take the path on your left towards Sari via Monte Santu and begin a long climb. You will see the monastery from time to time. Climb up to the rock face.
(7) At the wall, look for the "easy variant" sign on your right. (Another option, see practical information).
Continue to the right, following the markings until you reach a post and another path. Turn left and finish the climb by reaching the Monte Santu orientation table.
Turn around and go back down to the post. Now continue to the left. Follow this path to a cistern. Turn left and return to the starting point.
