Snowshoeing in the Nebrodi

From March 1st to March 3rd, 2024
The Nebrodi are the mountains of the Griffon vultures, a mountain range where the highest peak, Monte Soro, rises over 1,800 meters, nestled along the northeastern coast of Sicilia. These green mountains, rich in springs and lakes like the Biviere di Cesarò, are defined by their landscape as much as by the black pigs or 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 the 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.
