マルヴァーニャのおすすめMTBライド

2002年の広大な溶岩流の平原

The Santa Maria del Bosco refuge is easy to reach and is equipped with fresh drinking water, toilets, BBQ sites, firewood, a room always open with a fireplace and wooden bunk beds, camping sites, swings and a football pitch.

Beautiful foliage in the autumn period

With a guide, you can interpret the possible roles of each rock in the ancestors' rites of passage. Spectacular views, including of Mount Etna, not only from the highest rock with its "pool," but also from walking through the fields of ferns (they were a beautiful green in August 2025).

shelter built in 2024. Comfortable and equipped with water, although not drinkable.

Classic Refuge always open in a wooded and cool area on the slopes of Etna. Outside a woodshed, in another hut a stable-manger and inside the refuge a table and two bunk beds on which to store sleeping bags. Someone always leaves something, liquor or even commemorative writings (which I would avoid though)

Argimusco is a plateau located in Sicily, just north of Etna, approximately on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, and is administratively divided between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi (which stands on the site of ancient Abacaenum) and Roccella Valdemone. The plateau is very panoramic as you can admire Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo up close. It is part of the Bosco di Malabotta nature reserve.

This stretch of provincial road offers a privileged viewpoint of the megalithic rocks of Argimusco that stand out among the grazing meadows and thick fern forests.
