An itinerary for everyone: no race, only freedom
The beauty of the Sicily divides is that it is not a competition. There is no stopwatch to be in a hurry, no date to respect. You decide everything: where to start, how pedaling every day, where you can stop to sleep. The Sicily Divide is an itinerary of 439 kilometers, divided into seven stages, suitable for any type of cyclist, that you are a gravel lover, a mountain bike fan, or a racing bike purist.
Along the way, you can collect stamps in checkpoints scattered throughout the stages, thanks to the divider’s pass, a pass that, in addition to keeping your memories, allows you to take advantage of discounts in affiliated structures. And at the end of the trip, there is a surprise for you: a certificate that celebrates your business.

Bike hotels and comfort along the way
One of the main concerns of those who face a two -wheeled trip is rest. After a long day in the saddle, it is essential to have a safe place to recover the energies and keep your bike. The accommodation affiliated along the Sicily Divide are designed for this: they offer safe hospitalizations for bicycles and subsidized prices for dividers. Also, if you don’t have a bike, you can rent Gravel or Mountain Bike models directly on the spot and return them on arrival. Practicality and flexibility are the watchwords.
Why choose the Sicily Divide?
The Sicily Divide path is an extraordinary journey, a way to rediscover the value of slowness in a world that runs too fast. Pedaling between green hills, silent villages and roads that seem made on purpose to be explored, you will learn to look at Sicily with new eyes. And then let’s face it, there is something extraordinarily satisfying in reaching Catania (or Trapani) counting only on her legs.
So what are you waiting for? Sicily Divide awaits you. Prepare to live the truest Sicily, one pedaling at a time.
