The heart of Sicily
Our route will take you through lush oak and holm oak woods, where the scent of nature will envelop you, accompanied by birdsong and the rustle of the wind. Climbing along the trails, you'll discover remains of ancient civilisations, testimony to a past that still echoes among these peaks. Once you reach the summit, at 1,192 metres, you'll be greeted by a spectacular view stretching from the inland hills to the peaks of the Madonie, as well as the Nebrodi and Mount Etna. This experience is perfect for those who love immersing themselves in unspoiled nature and letting themselves be inspired by the call of the stories only this land can tell. Ready to set off? Backpack on, Monte Altesina awaits you!
How do you get to Nicosia? By carpooling.
