Monte Catalfano is a corner of true nature that is located not far from the town of
Bagheria. A real oasis of peace of about 300 hectares where you can spend a few hours relaxing
and enjoying this peaceful place.
Monte Catalfano extends for about 1.5 km with steep sheer walls, even a
hundred meters. The area of the park can be divided into 2 different areas: the slopes and the
high-altitude areas, where numerous marked paths, crossing the Mediterranean scrub are scenic routes, leading up to the cliffs, very steep escarpments overlooking the sea, and connect natural caves.

Inside the park, we find a very popular destination, the Trigonometric Point because it offers a beautiful spectacle of nature.

There are about 10 caves of marine origin, dug by the slow erosion of the sea waves and
the presence of small perforations in the walls caused by organisms such as sea dates.
Inside some of these caves there is still evidence of the passage of prehistoric man. The real peculiarity of the area are the tectonic caves, they are called “zubbi”.

  • Ask our staff if you are interested in a guided walk or a trek inside the park.

Monte Catalfano si estende per circa 1,5 Km con pareti scoscese a strapiombo, alte anche un
centinaio di metri. L’area del parco può essere schematizzata in due zone: la zona pendici e le
zone in quota, dove numerosi sentieri tracciati, attraversando la macchia mediterranea,
costituiscono percorsi panoramici, conducono sino alle falesie, scarpate molto ripide a picco sul
mare, e collegano grotte naturali.

All’interno del parco , troviamo una meta molto gettonata ,il Punto Trigonometrico perché
regala un bellissimo spettacolo della natura.
Si contano circa 10 grotte di origine marina, scavate dalla lenta erosione delle onde del mare e
dalla presenza di piccole perforazioni nelle pareti provocate da organismi come i datteri di mare.
All’interno di alcune di queste grotte si conserva ancora la testimonianza del passaggio
dell’uomo preistorico. La vera peculiarità dell’area sono le grotte tettoniche , i cosiddetti “zubbi”.
