Among the best mountain bike trails in Sicily, we highly recommend the Etna Mountain Bike Tours, an incredible on-off-road adventure through the Etna Park. This excursion takes you through a breathtaking landscape between Linguaglossa and Giardini-Naxos, riding along volcanic terrain and scenic trails.
If you’re an adventure and nature lover, the Etna mountain bike tour is the perfect experience for you! Ride along the lava trails of Europe’s highest active volcano, passing through ancient forests, lava flows, and spectacular landscapes.
MTB Tour Itinerary
Our Etna mountain bike excursions start in Linguaglossa, in the Sciarramanica area, following the northern slopes of Etna toward Solicchiata. Here, you’ll cross the 1981 lava flow, riding directly over volcanic rock for a large part of the tour. From Solicchiata, we continue toward Verzella, where we’ll cycle through vineyards, olive groves, and hazelnut trees. Along the way, you’ll see abandoned yet picturesque feudal farmhouses nestled in the stunning landscape.
From Verzella, the ride continues through Mediterranean scrub, alternating between vineyards and centuries-old oak trees. This MTB route is an unforgettable experience where nature takes center stage.
Alcantara trails
After visiting the Byzantine Cuba, a small 11th-century paleo-Christian church standing alone between the Alcantara River and vast vineyards, we’ll descend into the valley. Here, we’ll ride along exciting off-road trails following the Alcantara River, reaching the famous Alcantara Gorges.
After a scenic stop, we’ll continue along an adrenaline-pumping off-road path, following the river’s course until it meets the Ionian Sea in Giardini-Naxos.
