An ideal place to stop for a moment and admire the vastness of the Madonie Park. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, forests, and valleys. Perfect for a break, a photo, and to fully absorb the tranquility of this Sicilian mountain landscape.

Cozzo Morto is a panoramic peak within the Madonie Park, accessible via dirt trails. From the summit, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the surrounding mountains and valleys below, a perfect spot for a break and to admire the park's diverse landscapes.

From this stretch of the road you can see the remains of the imposing monastery of San Giorgio. It is worth making the short detour downhill to see it up close. It is also a great place to camp, a truly special location.

"The toponym Isnello derives from the watercourse that crosses the territory. This river, also called Isnello, laps the town to the north, creating a suggestive canyon between the castle hill and the steep wall of Montagna Grotta Grande".

The "Fratel Biagio Conte" Nature Trail, an easy walk, runs along a forest road that from Portella Colla first descends gently to the forest gate and then climbs part of the northern slope of Cozzo Sella. Among the native beech, maple, and holly trees, you'll also encounter Madonie fir trees, introduced by the joint efforts of the Park Authority, the University of Palermo, and the State Forestry Company of the Sicily Region. Along the trail, you can observe native flora and fauna in a natural and landscape setting of rare beauty. It's no coincidence that this location was chosen by Brother Biagio for a period of hermitage at the forest refuge you'll encounter along the trail. Continuing, you'll reach a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Piano Mirabilici valley, a karst sinkhole that characterizes the area. In the background, Monte Cervi with its magnificent continental beech forest. We invite you to walk the path in silence and leave no trace of your passage. Nine panels along the path invite pilgrims to observe and reflect, just as Brother Biagio loved to do.

Municipality in the province of Palermo and within the Madonie park, Isnello presents an area dotted with karst phenomena that create various caves and cavities. The origin of the name Isnello is uncertain: it could derive from the Syriac term hassin ("cold river"), from the Punic hassinor ("stream that flows in a tube-shaped bed") or from the Greek asines ("the harmlessness of the stream "). Several relatively important waterways, in fact, cross the Isnello territory. Furthermore, since 2016 there has been a Center for research, teaching and dissemination of astronomical sciences here, which was given the name GAL Hassin, a play on words between galaxy and the ancient name of the territory. In Isnello you can enjoy a really dark sky at night!

One of the capitals of the Madonie park, Collesano is home to the museum dedicated to the Targa Florio car competition, suppressed in the seventies, of which it was one of the main passages. Of particular interest are also St. Peter's Basilica, the archaeological and environmental site of Monte d'Oro and the medieval castle. Mountain biking is very popular here, thanks to the local team "ASD Madonie Bike".

An ancient, isolated, open-air abbey. It remains slightly below the route we followed
