Dorsale dei Nebrodi - Mistretta - Floresta

From April 28th to May 1st, 2017.
The Dorsale dei Nebrodi is one of the most beautiful trails within the Park. Spanning approximately 80 km, it runs from West to East (or vice versa), almost entirely along the mountain ridge. You will traverse oak and beech forests, including the bosco della Tassita, one of the most significant sites in the Nebrodi (the only exceptional example of a forest dominated by Taxus baccata in all of Sicilia), as well as delightful small lakes and spectacular viewpoints on both slopes. Monte Soro, at 1847 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in the Monti Nebrodi and represents the greenest, most forested area in all of Sicilia. Our journey begins in the town of Mistretta (7 km from the ridge, 950 meters above sea level) and concludes four days later in Floresta. For overnight stays, we will be using managed accommodation facilities.
