Mountains & National Parks
Head inland and come across the dramatic hills and plains of northern Sicily, as well as some pretty impressive mountain ranges. The Madonie mountains, a regional natural park, is a joy to hike through. Medieval villages are nestled amongst the peaks, and the gastronomic delights on offer at the local restaurants have a special reputation all of their own. Wildlife more your thing? You might want to try the Nebrodie Mountains. Also a national park, it is renowned for its fauna; wild cats, porcupines and black pigs to name a few, so don't forget your binoculars!
