An MTB adventure in the heart of the Peloritani mountains, perfect for those seeking adrenaline, wild nature, and authentic landscapes. The tour starts from Novara di Sicilia, one of the island’s most charming villages, before immediately plunging into an environment of dirt tracks, crystal-clear streams, and continuous changes of pace that test both technical skill and endurance. This is a route that invites you to overcome your limits, regenerating body and mind, and providing that rare feeling of freedom that only mountain biking can convey.
After leaving the town, the itinerary descends towards the Mazzarrà Stream (Torrente Mazzarrà), crossing a section of great scenic impact, where the sound of the water accompanies the rhythm of the ride. Crossing the watercourse is one of the most dynamic experiences of the tour: shallow depths, smooth stones, and a succession of natural elements make the passage engaging and stimulating.
Subsequently, the trail climbs up through woods and ancient stone terraces, with panoramic openings that offer evocative views of the surrounding mountains. The second part of the itinerary leads towards the Novara Stream (Torrente di Novara), a shaded and revitalizing environment, ideal for a brief stop before the final uphill stretch.
The route progressively gains altitude, offering privileged vantage points over the Mazzarrà Valley, the Peloritani ridges, and, on the clearest days, as far as the Nebrodi Mountains. The arrival near San Basilio offers a smoother ride, perfect for concluding the tour on a relaxed note. An experience that combines nature, technique, and emotion: perfect for young, sporty riders ready to experience the wildest side of Sicily in motion.
