PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Monte Pellegrino it's known as one of the most beautiful promontory in the world, and I agree. It's definitely a must not to lose if you are visiting Palermo, and I'm the best local guide to lead you there allowing you to get the most from this adventure.
The idea is to do a 10km hike, with 500m positive ascent, following a ring walk trail and crossing the most beautiful and important points of the mountain. Stunning natural corners, views and interesting histories are waiting for you. Jump deeper into the Palermo's culture.

I would pick you up around 9 am with my own car very close to your accommodation in Palermo, in order to reach the starting point of the walk at the basement of the mountain. We will cross an interesting rock formation canyon, full of wild nature, till reaching the upper part of the mountain. Once there we'll visit a sanctuary, a church into a cave, and after a break/snack we'll keep walking into the nature. Along the way we'll cross some nice view points, until to reach our way back down till the car. Once at the car it's up to the people of the group to have a detour crossing the area of Mondello beach and to take a look to the beutiful seaside, maybe also a coffe or a ice-cream.

This hike it's an adventurous trail, out of the main touristic way. This trail is not the easiest one but it's been already many years for me leading people trough it, I love to share it. There is plenty of time to enjoy the walk, with many stops and not rushing.
IMPORTANT: the guests need to be used to walk on hiking trails, little technical passages, with no issues about walking or about your knees' - legs' - ankles' stability. It's suppose to be a joyful hike not a survival challenge. Even doing it slowly and chilling it's anyway a 10k (7miles) long and 500m (1600feet) ascent, so medium hiking skills are required.
PLEASE, if you are not confident into mountain walks trails with very steep, rocky, exposed passages, or if you suffer of dizziness, or if you have some joints problems (knees, ankles), or if you are not used to walk mountain trails, please, don't book this activity, for your safety and for the sake of the other guests in the group.

IMPORTANT: join with good closed shoes, trainers are ok, hiking boots would be the best but if you have not, closed shoes are ok. Good closed sandals are ok (like the teva brand). No open shoes, no crocks, no flip flops.

We would be back in the city centre around 4/5 pm according to the traffic and dropping points.
