Snowshoeing in the Nebrodi Mountains.

January 27th to 29th, 2023
The Nebrodi are the mountains of the Griffon vultures, a mountain range whose highest peak is Monte Soro at over 1800 meters, nestled along the northeastern coast of Sicily. Green mountains rich in springs and lakes like the Biviere di Cesarò define this landscape, as do the black pigs and the beautiful Sanfratellani horses that graze at high altitudes. Our snowshoeing excursions will depart both days from Villa Miraglia, taking place between Portella Femmina Morta, Monte Soro, Lake Maulazzo, and off-trail through the woods. The program may be subject to changes based on weather conditions, and the use of equipment may vary depending on snow cover. Each excursion lasts approximately 5 hours. Our accommodation for this weekend is a small and precious mountain Relais, Villa Miraglia, a landmark of the Nebrodi managed by the Mazzurco family, synonymous with excellence in hospitality and local gastronomy.
