In the shadow of Sicily's world-famous volcano, Mt. Etna, the incredibly beautiful mountains of the Parco delle Madonie emerge, with peaks reaching 2000 meters. On your journey, climb up rugged cliffs for breathtaking views of small villages perched like eagle's nests amongst the steep slopes. Walk this timeless landscape at ease, as daily life passes slowly here, following the endearing rhythm of the seasons. You shall enjoy deliciously fresh food, prepared by locals who still live off the land, tending their vegetable gardens, olive groves and vineyards and harvesting figs, almonds and hazelnuts. From the highest mountains to the emerald sea, this is a first rate trekking experience. Serenity is yours.
