Etna in MTB or E-Bike

The simple tour for all Mountain Biking lovers




Details:
This Etna MTB or E-Bike tour was born from the need to satisfy all Mountain Biking lovers even after the eruption of the Etna volcano in February 2025, which with its lava flow cut the Pista  Altomontana in two (South West area) and consequently made three of our most popular Easy MTB tours unusable.

We have designed this MTB or E-Bike tour with two variants always at a single price, trying to make our new way of proposing Mountain Biking on the Etna volcano enjoyable for everyone, testing yourself with our muscular MTB or paying a small surcharge using our E-Bike (EXTRA discounted price, only for those who choose this Tour).

You can choose between two versions, a Standard and an Expert, opting for the use of Mountain Bike (muscular) once you reach the Rifugio San Giovanni Gualberto (Hut), the guide in charge of the service will propose the best solution based on your cycling skills, then he will suggest whether to continue with the Standard or Expert solution.

In the case of using E-Bike, with the E-Bike Light Assistance solution you can only take the Standard tour (no exceptions will be made); in the case of using E-MTB Plus Assistance you can opt for the Standard or Expert tour always with the advice and evaluation of the guide in charge of the service.

Centuries old woods, unique landscapes and lava flows will make this experience unique.

E-Bike Etna Summit - Short Tour

 


Introduction

We have specially created this new Short alternative with a lower total altitude difference (1740mt ↑↓), fewer kilometers and a maximum reachable altitude of 2500mt. All this, to make the experience easier and within the reach of all E-MTB lovers.

The kilometers and the difference in altitude will be able to satisfy the expectations of those who want to experience an equally unique and spectacular experience by E-MTB, with scenarios that only high altitudes can offer.

The Short Experience, unlike the Classic one, can also be booked by a single participant (always with exclusive booking).



Path

E-Bike Experience, starting from Piano Vetore, Etna South (approximately 1.750 mt). We will ride in the direction of the Etna cable car, where the first climbs await us to conquer the Etna volcano by E-MTB.

The first part of the path will be characterized by a not particularly challenging climb with colorful scenery and open spaces. Once this trail is over, an E-Bike transfer on asphalt, of about 2 km, awaits us and will take us towards the Etna cable car (south side).

This will be the moment when the tour really comes to life; the majestic craters, lunar landscapes and breathtaking views will accompany us on one of the most fascinating and challenging sandy climbs you've ever done. We will continue our ride through steep hairpin bends with little grip that will lead us to conquer the south side of Mount Etna, where you will be able to admire the volcanic cones at an altitude of 2500mt, the magnificent lava flows and lunar valleys that surround these areas.

For the return to Piano Vetore we will use again part of the path used for the outward journey.

Difficulty: 3 out of 5
Duration: 3 hours
Length: 19 km
Total altitude difference: 1740
Ascent: 870
Descent: 870
Path: Medium/High, 75% Off Road
Period: All year round depending on the snow on the paths




Prices

1 Participant: €95 (exclusive booking of the Tour)
From 2 to 6 Participants: €70 (exclusive booking of the Tour)
