Meeting point: Baita Euro Etna Tourism – Etna South.

The “classic of classics,” the MTB excursion that allows you to explore the perimeter of Mount Etna in one day, with the help of our satellite navigator.

Riding along the Etna Altomontana trail is undoubtedly one of the best ways to know and admire 360 degrees of the wonders that only “Mother Etna” can offer us.

During the journey, the various slopes of Mount Etna unveil one after another, providing a complete perspective of the volcano’s unique features. Forest bivouacs, always open for hikers, serve as ideal resting points to replenish and admire the surrounding landscape.

The route traverses numerous lava flows, capturing attention with their wild beauty and traces of past eruptions. Caves formed by lava flows, hornitos, and side craters add elements of charm and mystery to the journey. Ancient forests offer moments of freshness and reflection, creating a perfect balance in the variety of the landscape.

The mountain bike journey concludes in Zafferana Etnea, where an organized transfer will take you back to the meeting point.
