A CYCLE JOURNEY INTO THE NATURE OF MOUNT ETNA

Once arrived, after a quick briefing and safety check, you'll be provided with an e-bike, helmet, and other necessary equipment. The e-bike will make the journey easier, as it will provide you with pedal-assistance to help you conquer the steep hills and slopes of the mountain.

AN ACTIVE EXPERIENCE INTO THE NATURE OF THE VOLCANO
You'll continue your journey by e-bike through the mountain's rugged terrain. You'll have the opportunity to explore ancient lava fields, rugged volcanic landscapes, and remote mountain villages.

As you approach the mountain on your e-bike, you will start to see the signs of volcanic activity all around you. The landscape changes from lush greenery to stark black lava fields, and you'll begin to feel the heat emanating from the ground. Along the way, if possible and conditions allow, there will also be a stop to visit one of the many fascinating lava flow caves on the volcano. These caves were formed by the flow of lava during past eruptions, and they offer visitors a chance to explore the unique underground landscape of the volcano.
