Singletrack Descent in Parco dell'Etna

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Superb Singletrack, if you are getting off Carretto wheels you have to go through here. Fast and technical enough, suitable for beginners but lots of fun for those who know how to push. Pay attention to the ground which in some places is very soft and sandy, making you lose the front easily.

Nicolosi

Highlight • Settlement

After leaving the raging traffic of Catania behind, Nicolosi is the first town to reach and the town is very sizeable. As usual around the Etna, the main street is paved with black and quite rough lava planks. If the bottles have already been empty, here is another great opportunity to fill them, if you want to continue towards Refugio Sapienza - on the lava fields you will search for springs and wells in vain.
