Forests and lava flows

Around Etna: The High-Altitude Ring Between Fire and Sea

Explore the wild soul of Europe’s most active volcano together with our expert guides, through an experience that combines adventure, nature, and technology.
The Around Etna tour starts from our logistical base at Chalet Clan dei Ragazzi (Etna North), where you can breathe in the fresh pine forest air and enjoy a moment of relaxation before getting on the saddle.
After a briefing, we’ll begin riding along the legendary Pista Altomontana, a unique trail that winds between 1,800 and 2,000 meters above sea level. Here, Etna’s extraordinary biodiversity reveals itself in all its beauty: we will pass through ancient Corsican pine forests and striking landscapes of volcanic sand—true “black deserts” where you can test the grip of our E-bikes.
Thanks to the power of the electric motors, even challenging climbs become enjoyable, allowing you to focus on the best part of the journey and the breathtaking scenery around you.

A sensory journey of about 4 hours, among craters, untouched nature, and the sense of freedom that only cycling can offer.
