Plan a Family Adventure in the Madonie

This excursion has been designed by Madonie Explorers to entertain the entire family — from adventurous young children up to five years old or over to enthusiastic parents and able-bodied grandparents.

A Magical Itinerary for all Ages

This family excursion is the perfect way to instill a love and appreciation of nature into your children. Along the trail, monumental trees, flowers, lichens, birds, butterflies, etc. will dazzle and amaze, all while one of Madonie Explorers’ passionate guides will help you discover the amazing Sicily nature through games, ovservations and quizzes.

The main stop on this family hike will be Piano Pomo, with its picturesque pagliaio (shepherd’s hut) and fairy tales-like giant hollies wood. The whole family will be wowed by the beauty of this place and immersed by the stories of local bandits and shepherds.

If your family has children eight years or older, you may prefer our Madonie Hike to Piano Pomo’s Giant Hollies. For ten year and older, we also recommend our Caves’ Hike Experience.

Where and when to meet?

You will meet your guide in Castelbuono (Province of Palermo) at 9:30 am.
If you aren’t sure where this is, don’t worry, as you will be provided with a map indicating the meeting point when you book. You can always contact us to ask for more information. Each guest will then reach the starting point of the trail in their own vehicle.
