プリッツィの絶景の山頂・トップ6

Be careful on the westward ascent! The final 150 meters to the summit are quite steep and very exposed. The terrain is also not ideal, consisting of scree, small stones, tufts of grass, and loose earth, which can lead to falls. Furthermore, the path from this side is almost completely unmarked, and the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra is completely overgrown, at least in summer. Furthermore, the path to the summit itself from the west is dominated by tall grasses, thistles, and other plants at this time of year. In high temperatures, you should carry at least two liters of water per person and wear a hat. In summer, I recommend spending plenty of time in the depression between Rocca Ramusa and Rocca Busambra because of the thick undergrowth there. I advise inexperienced hikers against the westward ascent.

Pizzo Nicolosi is a massive promontory on which an ancient Roman city stood, useful for controlling the traffic of the surrounding area. Today it is an archaeological site on which studies are slowly being carried out.

A beautiful place. But the place would be nicer without the fence.

The Serra Quisquina (1159m) offers a privileged point of view of the surrounding hills and mountains of the Sicani and can be easily reached from Santo Stefano Quisquina.

Magnificent 360 degree panorama over the whole of western Sicily, especially sunrise and sunset. The ascent and descent can be very challenging.

The highest point of Rocca Busambra, at 1613 meters above sea level. The view is spectacular and recalls that of the much higher continental mountains.

From here it is possible to admire the fairytale scenery of the Agnese valley and Rocca Busambra, with a view of the underlying Lake Coda di Riccio.

The ascent to Rocca Busambra takes place through meadows and little recognizable paths. Sturdy shoes are essential and in winter the trail can be very muddy and slippery.
