The possibility living the nature through a spectacular distance in crest to the Peloritani Mounts from Dinnamare, points out to you on the two seas, Ionian and Tyrrhenian, until the stratums of the Etna, mysterious megalitiche cliffs and soft beds of deep ferns long fiumare. Beautifulst forests lodged in remote places, zampilli of water that of winter flows towards sea. Equipped areas where to lodge living the nature diventanto "Nature". This and tant' other is the Mounts Peloritani, the Cervino of Sicily.La possibilità di vivere la natura attraverso uno spettacolare percorso in cresta ai Monti Peloritani da Dinnamare, affacciati sui due mari, Ionio e Tirreno, fino alle falde dell’ Etna, misteriose rocce megalitiche e letti morbidi di felci lungo profonde fiumare. Bellissime foreste alloggiate in luoghi remoti, zampilli d'acqua che d'inverno fluiscono verso mare. Aree attrezzate dove alloggiare vivendo la natura diventanto "Natura". Questo e tant'altro sono i Monti Peloritani ,  il Cervino di Sicilia.

Peloritani mounts grow tall in direction NE-SW for approximately 65 km from Peloro Head to the Nebrodi Mounts, its propaggini go digradando in go them of the Alcantara river, than sfocia to Naxos Garden. To the west they join with the chain of the Nebrodi, to North and East they are delimits to you from the Tyrrhenian Mar and the Ionian Mar where sfociano the most numerous ones fiumare that they are born dal' imposing montuosa chain of the Sicily north-oriental. Various they are the areas equipped of the Peloritani Mounts and various they are the paths that inerpicano along beautifulst messinesi hills.

The more diffuse cliffs in the zone of peloritani mounts are all of ancient formation and in part of magmatica and metamorfica origin. Schist stratifications of the Laurenziano, graniti prevail, filladi, gneiss. The ground presence is diffused of sandstone origin, disgregabile and easy removable from the sudden start of waters. All the material has been always used in the centuries in order to construct the city structures. Only and particular stones as the anfibiolite ones came used in the Dome of Messina and other ecclesiastical structures, also of the province like to Casalvecchio. A link in order to deepen Geologia dei Monti Peloritani. 

The forest, driven in and inpenetrabile once, is formed from ancient forests of oak, leccio, cork and probably also of faggio, pine and chestnut tree, currently they remain only little formations that occupy to the incirca shake it hectares. The successive degradation, caused mainly from the man and fires, has determined the passage to the spot, then to spot the degraded, gariga and finally to one true and own steppe, but only in some zones. In the zones more impervie, and therefore economically disadvantageous for the man, has conserved small nuclei of natural forest of roverella and leccio or Mediterranean spot with predominanza of erica, cisto, corbezzolo and ginestra. One show natural-botanist not to lose for the experts of the field.

The action of reforestation, undertaken already from the 1873 from the Consortium for the Reforestation and subsequently from the 1920 from the Forest Federal property of the Peloritani, has finally created pinete of domestic pine (pinea Pinus), marine Pine (Pinus pinaster), Pine of Aleppo (Pinus halepensis) and forests of Chestnut tree, Leccio and Roverella. Currently, in the zone of the Peloritani near the city of Messina several areas and initiatives are creating a culture naturalist who cannot that "to nourish" the mind to one ideology enviromentalist.

The boschive areas of the Forest Federal property are subdivided in:

• Federal property of the Peloritani orients them: Situated horse of the feature it begins them of omonima the montuosa chain to ridosso of the centers of Messina, Tyrrhenian Villafranca, Saponara and Rometta, occupies beyond 4102 hectares. Under the forest aspect they go remembers the pregevoli to you pinete of domestic pine falling back in the catchment basins of the Mili torrents, Saint Leone, Ferraro, Tarantonio of which pineta the Candelara it is between beautifulst of Italy. All these pinete fall back in the territory of Messina. The underbrush is constituted nearly exclusively from the xerofile species of the lowland and high formed Mediterranean spot in prevalence from Erica, Ginestra of the carbonai, spiny Ginestra, Ginestra of Spain, Cisto and Corbezzolo.

  
  

• Savoca Federal property: it has an extension of 762 hectares and comprises the common ones of Furci Siculo and Sicilian Casalvecchio, on the depositor south of the Peloritani Centers them. The diffused vegetation more is constituted from latifoglie, in particular from Chestnut tree, Leccio, Roverella, that they have gradually replaced the first systems of Mediterranean Pines of which they remain, however, numerous presences. A presence vegetable along some water course is constituted from the Platano orients them to the spontaneous state, an unusual plant in Sicily that confers to the atmosphere with famous irregular its chioma a lively one and briosa.Il underbrush is, also constituted here from Mediterranean spot.

  
  

• Federal property Mela: next to the Savoca but located on the opposite depositor of the Peloritani, it occupies a surface of 1827 hectares and is comprised between the montani river basins of the torrents Idria, Longano and Mela, in common of Barcelona the Sink of Gotto, Castroreale and S. Lucia of the Apple. The diffused vegetation more is constituted from Mediterranean pines and chestnut tree and at times also of eucalyptuses and acacias that form one composition multicolor of particular beauty. Immense zones introduce one mostly vegetation constituted from Mediterranean spot.

• Demanio Cisterna: it is smallest of the four nuclei, with one surface of 264 hectares. It falls back in the Peloritani Western in the river basin mount of the Alcantara river, sottobacino of the Zavianni torrent, in territory of Francavilla of Sicily. The diffused vegetation more is constituted from Mediterranean pines, oaks and chestnut tree. We find, moreover, maple trees, frassini and alders. Also here, along some water course we find the Platano orients them to the spontaneous state.

• Outside from the state property zone, to the upper-middle quotas, we find of the beautiful cultivations of chestnut tree that even if now partially abandoned form of the compact forests and to cover total. Other plant intensely cultivated is the kernel. Extended plantations, often associated chestnut tree we find to them in the territory of Fondachelli Fantina and in the territory of Antillo and Limina other extended cultivations less we find to them in the territory of Barcelona and Castroreale and on the opposite depositor in the territory of Francavilla of Sicily and Motta Camastra.

On the Peloritani Mounts there is the preferential habitat for the greater part of the fungi, than they are found in simbiosi with the radichette finishes them of the advanced trees, shrubs or grass, establishing with they a continuous exchange of nourishing substances. Other fungi live from parasite on the arboreal plants. The fungi in order to grow need of a warm and humid atmosphere that is just that one of the peloritana zone. It can be said that the forest and the underbrush provoke to an effect greenhouse preventing with the ombreggiamento that the ground is dried up under the beams of the sun and maintaining the heat, species of night, and the humidity. The species of fungi that can themselves be found on the Peloritani Mounts is olds.
