The spirit of travel
Western Sicily offers a multitude of attractions: breathtaking coastal landscapes, enchanting nature reserves, prehistoric and medieval archaeological sites, craftsmanship, old towns and charming streets and… succulent wine to top it all off!
This itinerary proposes to discover the great natural, cultural and historical riches of western Sicily in one of the best ways possible: on foot.
At the pace of the trails, discover an authentic Sicily, between wild cliffs plunging into the Mediterranean, hills covered with olive trees and perched villages where traditions are still very much alive. The hikes will take you through preserved landscapes, particularly in the region's nature reserves, where nature reveals an incredible diversity between Mediterranean scrubland, secret coves and marine panoramas.

The information below concerns travelers who are nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and Canada traveling to Italy for a tourist stay. As entry rules may change, we recommend verifying the information with the official authorities before your departure.
Passport and ID card
Italy is a member of the European Union and part of the Schengen area. Nationals of the EEA can enter Italy with a valid passport or national ID card. The document must be in good condition (no damaged, torn, or altered pages).
Swiss nationals, although not EU members, benefit from bilateral agreements allowing them to enter Italy with a valid ID card or passport.
Canadian nationals must hold a valid passport for the entire duration of their stay. It is recommended that it remain valid for at least three months after the scheduled departure date from the Schengen area.
Tourist stay without visa
Nationals of the EEA and Switzerland benefit from freedom of movement within the European area and are not subject to any duration restrictions for their tourist stays in Italy.
Canadian nationals benefit from visa exemption for tourist stays in the Schengen area. This exemption allows a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period, across all Schengen countries combined. Beyond this duration, a long-stay visa is required.
ETIAS travel authorization
As of the entry into force of the European system, Canadian nationals will be required to obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) authorization before any travel to the Schengen area, of which Italy is part.
This electronic authorization, distinct from a visa, must be requested online before departure. It will be linked to the traveler's passport and is generally valid for several years. We recommend verifying the status of this system with the official authorities before your departure.
Travel with children
Minors must hold their own valid travel document (passport or, for EEA nationals, national ID card).
In some countries, when a minor travels without one of their parents, an exit authorization from the territory may be required according to the regulations of the country of residence.
Other nationalities
Entry conditions may vary depending on nationality. Travelers concerned should inquire with the embassy or consulate of Italy in their country of residence.
