    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.

      Starting point at around 1900 meters altitude for hikes or to take the cable car up to over 2500 meters.

        For the more comfortable hikers there is the cable car and the Unimogs.
