For visitors who prefer to walk with other people and an experienced guide, the Italian Alpine Club CAI (a volunteer but well-qualified organisation with a branch in virtually every town in Sicily) arranges group walks most weekends throughout the year. Non-members are welcome on many of the excursions. The Palermo office is Tel 091-329407 or www.clubalpinoitaliano.org. Moreover the Catania branch Tel 095-7153515 or www.caicatania.it periodically takes small groups on an interesting four-day Etna trek.
Mention must be made of the Sentiero Italia project, a mammoth 6000km walker’s route traversing the whole of Italy from Sardinia, via Sicily, the Apennines and the Alps, all the way to Trieste. Some work has been carried out on the pathways in Sicily, with waymarking and signposting on the initial 45km in the Palermo area. The question of accommodation is yet to be resolved, but in the meantime sections can be followed on a day basis. Information on this route can be obtained from the Italian Alpine Club.
