  • Saturday: guided tour Nicosia-Capizzi-Troina-Cerami, lunch at a Nebrodi agriturismo, evening return.
  • Sunday: short morning ride Nicosia-Sperlinga-Gangi, closing lunch, return.

Who it’s for

For experienced motorcyclists wanting a structured weekend without having to plan routes, accommodation or food. Required technical level is medium: the SS117 isn’t demanding, but it’s long and requires good riding.
