Full description
The best way to leave routine behind? A pedal-assisted bike to escape in the opposite direction!
This escape takes you to Piano Battaglia, in the heart of the Madonie Park, where a 1-night stay in a refuge for two people awaits you, breakfast included.
But the experience that will really get you going will be an adventurous (and tasty) e-bike tour through the landscapes of this corner of Sicily. We look forward to seeing you in the saddle!
What we will do
Check-in is from 4 p. m. at the refuge at Piano Battaglia in Petralia Sottana (PA), over 1, 500 metres above sea level.
You will stay in a double room equipped with private bathroom with WC, sink and shower, heating, linen, towels, duvets, soaps and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is spread over several levels and offers rooms between 9 and 12 m², with double or single beds.
The following morning, an Italian-style breakfast is included: cakes, croissants, fruit and hot coffee to start the day in the simplest and most genuine way.
The e-bike excursion will leave directly from the refuge at 9: 00 a. m. (on the day of arrival or departure, depending on availability agreed with the guide) . You will be given pedal-assisted bikes, a helmet and everything you need to tackle an 18 km route with 620 m of altitude difference. You will cycle in the company of a certified guide, crossing beech, maple and holly woods along the paths that connect Piano Battaglia, Portella Colla and the wide basin of Piano Cervi.
After reaching the small lake of Mandria del Conte and the Giumenta valley, you will return to Piano Battaglia where a typical lunch awaits you in the refuge: a platter of cold cuts and cheeses, a Madonie first course, two glasses of wine, water and Madonie pastry. The e-bike tour will be conducted exclusively for you and will last two and a half hours.
Check-out is expected by 10. 30 a. m.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is intended for 2 persons over 18 years of age.
The minimum height required for the e-bike tour is 1. 40 m.
