The mountain of Punta La Marmora, known as Perdas Carpias in the Sardinian language, is the highest point in Sardinia. The summit of Punta La Marmora is at an elevation of 1,834m or 6,017ft above sea level.
The mountain resides in the Gennargentu mountain range, slightly east of the center of Sardinia, the mountain crosses into the provinces of Ogliasta and Nuoro. The summit on a good clear day offers views of the entire island, showing the outline of the coastline. During the winter months, you’ll most likely find snow at the top.
