The Nebrodi Natural Park

Welcome to the Nebrodi Mountains

Lush vegetation, verdant woods, steep mountains and deep valleys; stunning panoramas, fantastic naturalistic sites, wildlife.

The largest natural park in Sicily, located among the Tyrrhenian coastline in the north, the Etna park in the south-east and the countryside of the province of Palermo in the west.

The Nebrodi Natural Park, interesting itineraries are available within the park both for trekking experts.

And for travellers looking forward to getting in touch with this extraordinary natural site and all its wonders, such as the Catafurco waterfalls and the Rocche del Crasto, stunning calcarenitic mountains where a wide variety of birds of prey can be observed.

Some of the most striking panoramas of Sicily can be enjoyed from here.

Mount Soro is the tallest mountain of the Park and provides an unforgettable panorama over the Tyrrhenian coast and the Aeolian Islands in the north and of Mount Etna in the east.

And the verdant Mangalaviti wood is graced with beautiful points of observation as well, together with rich vegetation and impressive landscapes.

Surrounded by olive groves and woods, San Fratello is particularly renowned for the unique hardy breed “San Fratellano” horse: bred in their native habitats, these gorgeous horses are strong and famous for their endurance.

From pottery to embroidery, you’ll find plenty of hand-made souvenirs to take home from your visit to the park; as far as food is concerned, you just have to choose according to your taste.

The dairy production is excellent: pecorino, provola and ricotta are the most delicious and genuine types of cheese you’ll find in the area, still produced by farmers and shepherds following the most ancient traditions.

The most exquisite cold cuts are produced from the famous “suino nero” (black pig) of the Nebrodi Mountains; other delicious typical products include honey, olive oil, hazelnuts, mixed berries, mushrooms, eggplants and pistachios.

The Nebrodi Natural Park offer Local delicacies are often celebrated in Autumn-

A large number of wine and food feasts, fairs and festivals are organised and attract thousands of visitors looking forward to tasting the most genuine and fresh products of the area.

We highly recommend “Ottobrando”, that takes place every weekend in October in the lovely town of Floresta – the highest district of Sicily.

We also recommend a taste of local desserts, often made with almonds as the key ingredient; try one of the typical “barracche”, little taverns of the area, for a traditional Sicilian-countryside meal!
