About us

ASINARA 4×4 was founded in September 2006 from an idea by Veronica Pisu, Exclusive Guide of the Asinara National Park and Environmental Hiking Guide for the Sardinia Region. A knowledgeable expert on the island since 1998, thanks to her experience in scientific research in collaboration with the University of Sassari, Veronica offers tailored routes designed to meet every need and curiosity.

Through off-road excursions and trekking routes, you will have the opportunity to discover the island’s most hidden and inaccessible aspects, exploring places still unknown to the masses. Here, you can enjoy the beauty and delve into the unique features of the flora, fauna, and traces of human presence across the entire territory.

Veronica

Veronica

Founder of Asinara4x4

Exclusive Guide of the Asinara National Park; Environmental Hiking Guide for the Sardinia Region;
Passionate about excursions, trekking, photography, boating, and scuba diving, she has a tendency to collect all kinds of certifications and licenses, as well as Defender models.
Actively collaborates with the Tumbarino Wildlife Observatory in scientific bird ringing activities for migration projects and in the censuses of various animal species on the island (mouflons, goats, Scopoli’s shearwaters, and Manx shearwaters).
She first set foot on Asinara on 10 November 1998 for university research, and since then, it has become her second home. It’s hard to find a corner she hasn’t yet explored.

Alice Fozzi

Alice Fozzi

Exclusive Guide of the Asinara National Park

Degree in Environmental and Territory Management; Environmental Hiking Guide for the Sardinia Region; Marine Environmental Guide; Assistant Diving Instructor. The sea is her element, though she has adapted well to life on land and 4×4 vehicles. She always spots dolphins before anyone else, but one thing is certain: she manages to film every detail of her shoes and the boat, but never the bottlenose dolphins performing acrobatics right in front of her. A lover of animals, cats with sugar crises, and Agatha Christie novels, the only mystery we’ve yet to solve about her life is why she’s vegan…

Ilaria Soletta

Ilaria Soletta

Exclusive Guide of the Asinara National Park

Diploma in accounting (pristine), Environmental Guide for the Sardinia Region, Sailor/hostess for 10 years on sailing yachts, Unlimited sailing/motorboat license, Dog trainer. Known as “The Wolf Lady,” she finds it easier to keep a pack of Belgian Shepherds in line than to get her colleagues to agree at work. Her strong suit is managing embarkations and last-minute changes with remarkable composure—if only she remembered to carry a phone. We delved into her past, but a photo of her amidst a group of Puerto Ricans with a hammer in hand discouraged us from investigating further.

Federica Musa

Federica Musa

Exclusive Guide of the Asinara National Park

Master’s Degree in Archaeology, Specialisation Diploma in Underwater and Coastal Landscape Archaeology, Environmental Hiking Guide (AIGAE), and Guide for the Historical, Environmental, and Geomineral Park of Sardinia. She is our super babysitter, somewhere between Mary Poppins and Otto Disc from The Simpsons, managing to keep wild groups of children in check with great patience—whether it’s through stories of archaeological digs or photos of her on a bulldozer. Her passion for #vanlife may have started right here on Jason at Asinara, earning her the nickname “mala a girare” (always on the move).

Fleet Vehicles

2 Van Caravelle 4 Motion with 9 seats, 5 Land Rover Defender 110 with 9 seats, and 1 BWA 7.50 RIB powered by a 250 HP engine. We’re not sure whether the names reflect the character of the vehicles or of Veronica—too many adjectives match.

Giasone ed Ercole

Giasone ed Ercole

Volkswagen caravelle4x4

The idea of the Van4x4 was born during the height of the pandemic, when the ecological transition gained momentum and became the path to follow. These are Volkswagen Caravelle 4×4 vehicles, offering excellent off-road performance while being very comfortable, spacious, and equipped with panoramic windows. Jason and Hercules bring to mind epic and challenging journeys, much like those we are undertaking to uphold high-quality standards linked to sustainability. Similarly, our new journey begins with them, following the guidelines of the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism and the Environmental Quality Label of the Park.
