Choose your adventure

Trail rides in the Madonie.

From a first experience in the saddle to more dynamic excursions, we shape the route around your ability and the landscape you wish to discover.

Four routes

Between sea, woodland and ancient drove roads.

Every excursion leaves from the centre and crosses a different part of the area. Duration and pace are agreed according to the group’s experience and seasonal conditions.

01
Trail ride Zurrica

Drove roads and vineyards

Zurrica

The route takes its name from the Zurrica district near Sant’Anastasia. From the centre, an ancient drove road opens views over the sea and the Madonie, passes through the vineyards of the medieval abbey and reaches a trail with an exhilarating two-kilometre stretch.

Trail ride Quattro Finaite

The four boundaries

Quattro Finaite

Across open countryside, among olive and almond groves and grazing animals, the ride reaches the hill marking the boundaries of Castelbuono, Isnello, Cefalù and Pollina. From the summit, the sea and, on clear days, the Aeolian Islands come into view. An ideal sunset destination.
