Monte Soro, Mountain summit in Nebrodi Mountains, Sicily, Italy
Monte Soro is the highest peak in the Nebrodi Mountains in northeastern Sicily, rising to 1,847 meters above sea level. The summit area features open terrain with grass-covered slopes that extend across the plateau-like top.
Throughout history, the mountain served as a natural boundary separating different Sicilian territories and kingdoms. This geographical role shaped settlement patterns and regional divisions in the Mediterranean area for centuries.
Shepherds continue to graze their flocks on the mountain's slopes, a practice that has shaped life in the Nebrodi region for centuries. This pastoral way of living remains visible in how the grasslands are managed and used by locals today.
The route to the summit begins from Portella Femmina Morta and covers around 5 kilometers with a climb of about 300 meters. The road is generally accessible by vehicle and suitable for most visitors with average fitness levels.
Broadcasting equipment and transmission towers stand at the peak and can be spotted from many points across the northeastern Sicily region. These modern structures create an unexpected contrast with the natural surroundings of the mountain.
