Sentiero Italia CAI Sicily
After crossing the sea, the Sentiero Italia lands in Sicily, offering a unique experience along the island’s northern ridge. The Sicilian route unfolds across 29 stages through the Peloritani, Nebrodi, and Madonie mountain ranges, presenting breathtaking views over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Strait of Messina. These mountains, often overlooked by mass tourism, preserve ancient beech, holm oak, and oak forests, home to endemic species such as the Sicilian dormouse and the wildcat.
Walking the Sentiero Italia in Sicily means discovering perched medieval villages like Novara di Sicilia and Montalbano Elicona, tasting traditional pastoral cuisine, and immersing yourself in a generous nature. The trails lead through extraordinary natural parks with Mount Etna as a majestic backdrop. Here, the island’s millennia-old history weaves together with wild mountain beauty, creating a deeply enriching hiking experience that celebrates the cultural and landscape diversity of the Mediterranean.
