ジャルディネッロの峠・トップ4

Starting from the Palermo-Sciacca junction, you climb up to the Portella della Ginestra pass, an important place both for its tragic history and for its position which effectively makes it the gateway to Piana degli Albanesi.

Starting just outside the town of San Giuseppe Jato, this stretch of provincial road 20 climbs up to the picturesque Portella della Paglia pass, in a succession of hairpin bends and breathtaking views. The surface isn't perfect, but you can pedal safely even on a small section of landslide, which is well-marked. Tackled in autumn/winter, it almost feels like you're not in Sicily.

Be careful when entering the Garrone cave and it is very slippery from month 09 to month 06, bring a rope with you if you want to go inside the cave itself.

Beautiful pass at an altitude of 1044 meters. Located on the Sentiero Italia.

Hardly any cars and mostly good asphalt. The views are unique!
