A route that blends the majesty of the mountain with the allure of the sea in one single captivating adventure: from the heart of the Peloritani mountains to the Tyrrhenian coast. The start takes place on the slopes of Rocca Novara, a symbolic peak of the area, immersed in a rugged and evocative landscape that immediately introduces the intensity of the route.
The first few kilometers wind through woodlands, pastures, and ancient mule tracks, offering striking views of the Peloritani ridges. The climb, although challenging, maintains a constant rhythm: perfect for those who love tackling elevation gain with determination and technique. Continuing on, the route unfolds across increasingly expansive panoramas, crossing open ridges and exposed sections that direct the gaze northwards, where the sea begins to appear between the hills.
The descent represents the beating heart of the experience: long, dynamic, and engaging. It alternates between compacted dirt roads, winding single tracks, natural gullies, and more technical passages, nestled within spontaneous vegetation. It is pure adrenaline—a continuous flow all the way down to the valley floor.
The final section is a race towards the sea: the air changes, the vegetation becomes more Mediterranean, and the blue of the Tyrrhenian gets ever closer. The sight of the coast is the final reward after nearly 50 km of emotion.
A perfect tour for those seeking an intense, energetic, and wild experience: starting from the mountain and reaching the sea is a unique sensation that expresses all the power of the Sicilian outdoor environment.
