Excursion to the top of Monte Cofano

On every side, Monte Cofano presents itself in all its beauty and majesty.
A charm that translates into an enveloping atmosphere during the hike to reach the summit, at 659 meters above sea level. A walk in nature where there is no risk of getting bored. Quite the opposite.
At a certain point of the route you also have to climb between the rocks, using a rope and ladder. However, it is only a few meters, very manageable, as obvious, with the necessary concentration, attention and caution. Which must never be missing.
Some points require a bit of caution especially when going downhill.

Of course you need to wear trekking shoes and hiking poles, in some stretches, can be very useful. In your backpack you must have water and possibly a spare shirt. Sweating, especially in the summer, is guaranteed.
Something to put under your teeth can help while walking.
Better if something not particularly heavy to digest: the ideal is always fruit, such as bananas, which thanks to potassium give a real energy boost.

The effort of the climb is rewarded, step by step, by the magical context between sky and sea. As you get closer to the summit of Cofano, your gaze captures all the beauty of this place, intense colors and breathtaking views that will remain in your heart.

Of course, up at the top is a true spectacle of nature. The scenery is one of those that makes the soul vibrate.

Enjoy these moments, sit on a rock and look towards the mountain of Erice, breathe deeply, close your eyes… an incomparable sense of peace will envelop you.
An authentic emotion.

Those who do not wish to climb to the top can take the path that winds around the mountain and which, in some sections, on the northern side, is sheer above the sea, with rocky ridges that tower imposingly towards the sky.
The sensation, while driving along the coast, is that of admiring the Dolomites on the blue sea.
Absolutely to try…
