Experience the best Etna Bike Tour by E-MTB
Around Etna, on the Altomontana slope, among volcanic sand, caves and centuries-old lava flows on our pedal-assisted E-MTBs.
Etna and its Natural Park represent a vast territory rich in biodiversity, unique volcanic landscapes and breathtaking panoramic views. That is why we have created a tour that allows you to experience the volcano in a relaxing yet adventurous way aboard our pedal-assisted E-MTBs. Follow the famous Altomontana Track across volcanic sand, ancient lava fields and spectacular lava flow caves while discovering the geological history of Europe’s highest active volcano.
After reaching Piano Provenzana (1,810 m above sea level), the adventure continues through the beautiful Ragabo pine forest of Linguaglossa, where winding off-road trails, fresh mountain air and centuries-old trees create an unforgettable riding experience. You’ll also pass through the tunnels of the historic Circumetnea railway before descending towards the coast, enjoying incredible views stretching from Mount Etna to the Ionian Sea. Suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, this excursion combines nature, adventure and authentic Sicilian scenery in one unforgettable experience.
