Various levels of difficulty (easy – medium – challenging) and of various lengths.
> 2 – Etna MTB south/east, here the test gets tough, technical and demanding routes but always mastered by lava scenarios, woods and exhausting climbs, with small irruptions on paved roads, necessary to connect the various connections.
Two levels of difficulty (medium – demanding) and of varying duration.
> 3 – MTB climbing of the summit craters max altitude 2,900mt (without a volcanological guide), possibility of reaching higher altitudes, but only with the help of a volcanological guide and after checking the volcanological bulletin. Lunar scenarios await you, with unique landscapes surrounded by old volcanic cones and trails completely immersed in volcanic sand.
Two levels of difficulty, both demanding but substantially different, the simplest includes only the ascent to the summit craters starting at 1800m (South Etna), the second option is starting at 1700m and also includes MTB routes on the south/west side of the volcano Etna.

Various levels of difficulty (all challenging) but with the possibility, based on your preferences and physical abilities, to start from various altitudes, including the last ascent to the summit craters (in this case the difference in altitude is only uphill and can reach even at around 3500 slm).
