Pizzo Carbonara, at 1979 meters, is close to the 2000-meter mark.
The hiking trail up begins with a beautiful meadow path and is well signposted. Easy for a high mountain, you don't even have to use your hands to climb.
Since I was doing a circular …

March 10, 2025,Pizzo Carbonara - Panorama Tour

This tour to Pizzo Carbonara is a wonderful panoramic tour and had a lot else to offer today: squalls, tracking in the snow, GPS navigation and a large herd of fallow deer. Pizzo Carbonara is the highest elevation in the Madonie and, at 1979m, the highest "non-volcanic" mountain in Sicily.
