Monti Nébrodi

The Monti Nébrodi, also called Caronie, are composed of chalk and sandstone and constitute a continuation westwards of the Monti Peloritani range. At Monte Soro they rise to a height of 1,847m/6,060ft and at Rocca di Novara to 1,430m/4,692ft. Their border with the Monti Peloritani can roughly be taken to be the SS 185 (Taormina-Castroreale Terme), while the line with the Madonie range to the west is the area around Gangi

Round trip

This range is accessible through various mountain roads, for example from Sant'Agata di Militello on the north coast; from there the mountain hide-out of San Fratello is reached, followed by the watershed of Portella della Femmina Morta (1,524m/5,000ft) and finally on a road off to the left, Monte Soro (1,847m/6,060ft, view).
