Are our walking holidays in Sicily right for you?

Our walking holiday in Sicily’s Madonie Mountains explores remote slopes and involves ascents and descents each day, while our walking holiday in western Sicily and the Egadi Islands walk takes place on paths that can be little-trodden and rocky in places. Our grading system below should help you decide if these holidays are right for you. We’ll be happy to add in an extra night or two if you’d like an occasional rest day.

Grade 1

These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2

You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2

Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.

Grade 3

Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
