Full description
Get ready to experience Etna like you've never seen it before: on an e-bike, pedalling past craters, lava flows and jaw-dropping views.
With the e-bike tour of Etna's Crateri Sommitali you will climb Europe's most active volcano up to an altitude of 2700 metres, guided by an expert who will act as your GPS, encyclopaedia and even personal motivator.
Are you ready to conquer the summit... by pedal strokes?
What we will do
The appointment is in Nicolisi (CT), 30 minutes before the time selected during the booking process. On arrival, the guide will welcome us and hand over astate-of-the-art full suspension e-bike. After a quick briefing on the route, our adventure will begin!
We will cycle through landscapes that seem to come from another planet: black lava flows, volcanic sand, sharp rocks, and sudden glimpses of Etna's clear sky. Every bend will be a discovery, every breath a step towards the summit.
During the ascent, we will stop at the most suggestive points to admire the majesty of the Valle del Bove, a colossal volcanic depression that will leave you speechless. Once we reach an altitude of 2700 metres, we will be in front of the summit craters, where our guide will reveal the secrets of Europe's highest active volcano. And yes, there will also be time to take spectacular photos.
The descent will be a journey through time, among the craters formed during the 2001 eruption, in a changing landscape that tells of all the power of nature. Finally, after about 15 km of total walking (altitude difference +700/800 m), we will return to the starting point.
The experience lasts approximately 3 hours.
