Template:Infobox mountain Gennargentu (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a large massif in central-southern Sardinia, Italy, encompassing the provinces of Nuoro and Ogliastra. It includes the highest peaks on the island, such as Punta La Marmora (Template:Cvt), Monte Spada (Template:Cvt), Punta Erbas Virdes (Template:Cvt), Bruncu Spina (Template:Cvt) and Punta Paulinu (Template:Cvt).
The range forms part of the Gennargentu National Park. Geologically, its rocks are amongst the oldest in Europe, and are therefore smooth shaped: rock types include schist, limestone and granite.
