    Tips

    Road cycling

    The driveway coming from Nicolosi, up to the valley station of the Etna cable car is something very special. Dark lava fields from which plants seek their place. A worthwhile driveway, which can be perfectly combined with the complete circumnavigation of Etna.

    Road cycling

    Very impressive route, only moderately steep, but naturally very sunny, a drive in the cooler morning hours is highly recommended.

    The traffic on weekends can be annoying in this great landscape
