Public Fountain of Lava Stone

Highlight • Rest Area

Public lava stone fountain with raised trinacria. This is the last point of water you will find before starting the Linguaglossa-Provenzana cycling route (18 km). I recommend the water supply.

Start of the Linguaglossa–Piano Provenzana Cycling Route (Etna North)

Highlight • Cycleway

Starting point of the beautiful cycling route that from Linguaglossa (552 masl) ends at Piano Provenzana (1800 masl). The route is the most northerly and longest on Etna, extending for 18km. Leaving the town of Linguaglossa, first a long straight at 5% then the first ramps are characterized by a series of wide hairpin bends with a gradient between 6 and 7.5%; the first hairpin bends are not very wooded and then through pine, fir and conifer woods until reaching kilometer 10 under the shade of the Ragabo pine forest where the homonymous refuge (refreshment point) is located. After the refuge, kilometers 11 and 12 level out and then present themselves in front of the breathtaking scenery of the 2002 lava flow. above sea level in the square of Piano Provenzana, the most popular ski resort

Mareneve Road Switchbacks

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Series of beautiful hairpin bends that characterize the cycling route along the Mareneve road. After the first, the hairpin bends cross woods and pine forests that shade the road up to kilometer 10. The hairpin bends (19 in series) are wide and often the destination of many motorcyclists. Pay close attention.

First Series of Hairpin Bends (Strada Mareneve)

Highlight • Climb

After the first 5 km from the beginning of the route there is a very nice series of hairpin bends. The first hairpin bends you meet are rather sunny and with slopes between 6 and 7.5%, followed by wide and tree-lined hairpin bends that cross woods and pine forests up to kilometer 10 where the Ragabo refuge is located.

Start of the Mareneve Climb

Highlight • Climb

From here begins the climb called "Mareneve" a name that already alone tells the 1100 meters of altitude difference which in 17 km, lead from just over 500 to over 1600 meters of altitude.
