Excursion Pantelleria national park: montagna grande trek tour at Pantelleria

Explore the green heart of Pantelleria National Park on a scenic trek through the island’s highest and most forested landscapes. Reaching Montagna Grande, the island’s tallest peak at 836 meters, discover a contrasting side of Pantelleria, where dense vegetation and shaded trails replace the island’s volcanic coastline.

The walk follows paths lined with holm oak, strawberry trees, and maritime pine, offering a refreshing immersion into Pantelleria’s rare woodland environment. As you move along the ridge, enjoy sweeping views across the island, including the extinct volcanic crater of Monte Gibele, the cultivated plains of Zibibbo vineyards, and distant coastal landmarks.

The experience continues to sites shaped by both nature and local legend, including the Grotta dei Briganti, once used as a refuge, and the evocative Bosco delle Fate, where filtered light and quiet forest atmosphere create a sense of calm and discovery.

This active experience reveals a different dimension of Pantelleria, combining panoramic viewpoints, natural forest landscapes, and a deeper connection to the island’s untamed interior.
