The Nebrodi are the mountains of the Griffon vultures, a mountain range located in the north-eastern part of Sicily, with its highest peak at Monte Soro, over 1800 meters. This area is characterized by lush green mountains, springs, and lakes, including the famous Biviere di Cesarò, as well as black pigs and splendid Sanfratellani horses grazing at high altitudes. During this weekend, our snowshoe hikes will depart daily from Villa Miraglia and wind through Portella Femmina Morta, Monte Soro, lago Maulazzo, and off-trail woodland paths. The itinerary may vary based on weather conditions and snow levels, with equipment use adapted accordingly. Each hike has an estimated duration of about 5 hours.
We will be hosted at the mountain Relais Villa Miraglia, a landmark of the Nebrodi managed by the Mazzurco family, renowned for their excellence in hospitality and local gastronomy.
