The Dorsale dei Nebrodi is one of the most fascinating trails in the Parco dei Nebrodi: about 80 km winding along the mountain ridge from West to East, crossing some of the most evocative natural landscapes in Sicilia. The path meanders through oak and beech forests, high-altitude lakes, and sweeping panoramic views over both sides of the range.
Among the highlights, the Bosco della Tassita stands out as the only example in Sicilia of a forest dominated by Taxus baccata, along with Monte Soro (1847 m a.s.l.), the highest peak of the Nebrodi and the island's green, wooded heart.
The itinerary will begin at Lago Urio Quattrocchi, in the territory of Mistretta.
