Pizzo di Vernà, Mountain summit in Peloritani range, Sicily, Italy
Pizzo di Vernà is a mountain in the Peloritani range on Sicily, reaching 1287 meters above sea level. The peak sits between the municipalities of Antillo and Casalvecchio Siculo in the southwestern section of the range.
The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between Sicilian communities since ancient times. This geographic role shaped territorial divisions across the centuries.
The summit functions as a central gathering point for regional hiking groups who organize regular expeditions to maintain traditional mountain climbing practices.
The eastern slope offers the most accessible route to the summit, though thick Mediterranean vegetation covers the other sides. Sturdy footwear and steady pace will help on the rocky terrain.
On clear days, visitors from the summit can see both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian coasts at the same time, along with Mount Etna. This dual-coast view is what makes the peak notable.
