    The Sapienza refuge is the starting point for climbing the crater of Etna, it is also a very famous place for road cycling, as it hosted the arrival of some stages of the Giro d'Italia.

    The highest point in Sicily reachable by racing bike. On a clear day you have a magnificent view of Catania, the sea and the hinterland.
