This route represents one of the most authentic and adventurous MTB experiences around Novara di Sicilia. The itinerary leads riders through remote natural environments, following valleys, seasonal streams, forests and mountain tracks that reveal the wild side of the Peloritani Mountains.
The ride starts from Novara di Sicilia, one of Sicily's most fascinating medieval villages, dominated by the impressive Rocca di Novara. After the first kilometers, the route gradually leaves the village behind and enters a pristine natural environment.
The defining feature of this itinerary is the presence of stream crossings and gravel forest tracks running through valleys and wooded areas. These sections make the ride particularly exciting and enjoyable for mountain bike and e-MTB enthusiasts.
Along the route, cyclists cross landscapes characterized by rich biodiversity, including oak forests, pastoral areas and mountain environments that constantly change throughout the ride toward San Basilio.
The climbs require a good level of fitness, while the descents and technical sections provide exciting challenges for experienced riders. The continuous alternation between trails, gravel roads and forest tracks makes this itinerary ideal for cyclists seeking a true off-road adventure away from crowded routes.
Upon reaching the San Basilio area, riders are rewarded with spectacular views over the Peloritani Mountains, completing an experience that perfectly combines sport, exploration and nature.
