Also called "Pineta Ragabo", it is a natural pine forest, which grows at 1400 meters above sea level. It was an important source of raw materials in the past, while today it is a natural sanctuary where you can go cycling, long walks and refreshments in the open air.

Piano Provenzana (Parco dell'Etna)

Highlight • Rest Area

At Piano Provenzana the asphalt ends of what can be considered the north-east side of Etna, namely that of Linguaglossa. In winter it is a popular ski resort, while in summer it is possible to continue pedaling towards the mouths of the volcano thanks to a fat-wheeled bicycle. Bars, kiosks and other types of services such as rentals and guides are often open here.

View of Mount Etna

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is the landscape one would expect to see on the slopes of an active volcano. The geologically recent lava flows have not yet been colonized by vegetation.

Mount Etna Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The climb is quite genteel with slopes from 4-10%. The surroundings are unmatched. You are riding through Volcanic rocks with the sea behind you and the Etna smoking on your left. It is not busy with cars and coaches. These are all on the South.
