Pizzo Carbonara, Mountain summit in Province of Palermo, Italy
The limestone massif of Pizzo Carbonara rises to 1979 meters, forming the highest peak of the Madonie Mountains in northern-central Sicily.
The establishment of Parco delle Madonie in 1989 incorporated Pizzo Carbonara within its 40,000 hectares of protected natural territory.
Local communities in Isnello, Castelbuono, and Polizzi Generosa maintain traditional practices of agriculture and tourism around the mountain slopes.
Access to Pizzo Carbonara starts from Piano Battaglia at 1605 meters elevation, with a hiking duration of approximately two and a half hours round trip.
The mountain's plateau surface contains numerous caves and narrow valleys, where rainwater filters through to emerge at the foot of Cefalù castle.
