The climb is quite genteel with slopes from 4-10%. The surroundings are unmatched. You are riding through Volcanic rocks with the sea behind you and the Etna smoking on your left. It is not busy with cars and coaches. These are all on the South.

Very beautiful, but also sunny route up to the western flank of Mount Etna, the high point is reached with a cul-de-sac up to Refugio Citelli. The climb from the north of Linguaglossa is often through forest and offers more shade.
