Bike Tour from the Mountain to Sea: shuttle service included from Cyclops Riviera

A unique bike tour dedicated to mountain bike enthusiasts and excursionists who, without too much hard work, want to see from up close the highest volcano in Europe, and on descent head to the sea through some of the most beautiful countryside of the northern slopes of Etna. Arriving at 1800m asl with a shuttle transfer, the descent will begin from the peaks of the northern side of Etna, from Piano Provenzana. Taking an off-road de-tour, you will visit the famous 'Grotta dei Lamponi', the 'raspberry cave,' at an altitude of 1745m. You will then begin the descent towards the sea, passing the towns of Etna and varied landscapes, on a mixture of asphalted roads and completely off-road. You will reach an altitude of 0m at the sea of Catania, on the Cyclops Riviera, and from there, looking up at the volcano, you will be able to truly appreciate its grandeur.
On this tour you will have the chance to see the unique landscapes typical of the Etna territory, where the black lava rock, native flora, and breathtaking views of the sea will be protagonists along your journey.
