The Peloritani (
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 highest peaks are the Montagna Grande (1,374 m, 4,508 ft), the
megaliths rocks of the Argimusco
plateau.
Vegetation includes
cork oak, beech, pine and chestnut, which once formed large forests but are now, mostly due to human presence, reduced to sparse woods so that the landscape is largely steppe
-like. Several pine woods have been reconstituted by the local authorities since the 1950s.
An ancient path, Dorsale dei Peloritani, runs along the ridge line from Monte Dinnammare above the Strait of Messina to the Rocca di Novara.
