Pizzo di Vernà

Pizzo di Vernà reaches an elevation of 1287 meters within the southwestern section of the Peloritani Mountains, spanning the territories of Antillo and Casalvecchio Siculo.

The mountain terrain has served as a natural boundary marker between different Sicilian communities since ancient times, influencing local territorial divisions through 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 wall provides the most accessible climbing route to reach the summit, while dense Mediterranean vegetation covers the remaining slopes of the mountain.

From the peak, visitors can simultaneously observe both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian coasts, as well as Mount Etna and Rocca di Salvatesta in clear weather conditions.
