Peloritani

The Peloritani (Sicilian: Piluritani, Italian: Monti Peloritani) are a mountain range of north-eastern Sicily, in southern Italy, extending for some 65 km (40 mi) from Capo Peloro to the Nebrodi Mountains.

On the north and east they are bordered by the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas respectively, and on the south by the Alcantara River .

The range is made up of a long series of peaks, with an average height of 800–1,000 m (2,600–3,300 ft), intermingled with ridges and ravines.

The deep gorges house numerous streams that create the typical rivers of this land called fiumare, often full of deprises in their inferior flow.

An ancient path, Dorsale dei Peloritani, runs along the ridge line from Monte Dinnammare above the Strait of Messina to the Rocca di Novara.
