トレカスターニのおすすめMTBライド

The cable car alone currently costs €52 for an adult and €30 for children. Various packages are available that include guided tours. Alternatively, you can hike up below the cable car. It's steep, but only a 500-meter climb.

Even in bad weather or under dark clouds, the trip up is worthwhile. The cable car takes you up to 1,900 meters. By the time we reached the top, the clouds had almost disappeared due to the wind.

Very pretty church overlooking a beautiful, well-kept square! Etna in the background makes everything even more evocative.

From the mountain station you can take beautiful hikes to various craters.

And yes, Etna is also this, being able to take a bike ride at 1400m above sea level, around an extinct crater dating back to 150 BC. that is, in the middle of the Roman era…❤️ Around the year 150 BC, therefore in Roman times, the craters of Salto del cane were formed. The lava flow that emerged reached what is now Acireale. Today in the area you can admire a landscape of extreme charm and naturalistic and geological interest. At the foot of the mountain you pass through chestnut woods while the upper slope is covered with thick gorse. Once you reach the edge of the crater you find a deep funnel-shaped chasm in which lava bombs and blocks of tuff are piled up. On the steep walls we find the holm oak, the aspen which, as its name suggests, has leaves that quiver with every breath of wind, the southern rowan, very similar to the mountain ash, both very rare on Etna, the downy oak and some robust specimens of Beech, which here form an isolated station of this plant. Furthermore, many shrubs are found: from the aforementioned broom to the dog rose. Before descending into the crater in the distance we can admire the Monti Silvestri, the Serra Pizzuta Calvarina, La Montagnola, the cone of Monte Escrivá and the Serre that delimit the Bove valley.
