Exploring Mt. Salvatore and its ancient woods of Abies Nebrodensis, the Sicilian fir
with Calogero
During this hike we will be exploring the areas around Polizzi Generosa and Mt. San Salvatore (1910 m / 6,266 ft). We will walk across the Valley of Madonna degli Angeli where we will be able to admire the biodiversity of the Madonie’s flora from the typical Mediterranean shrub to the last specimens of the Sicilian fir (Abies Nebrodensis). These trees have survived the last glaciation and are now one of the most endangered species in the Mediterranean woodlands.

Calogero works as a hiking guide in the upper and lower regions of the Madonie, with VALLONE WILDERNESS. His career was born from passion: his love for the Madonie and their surroundings led him to explore even the most hidden areas. He started by sharing his discoveries in nature with friends and eventually others. Over time, he created a network of contacts including restaurateurs, artisans, and holiday home hosts in the Caltavuturo area and neighboring towns.
