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.
