Starting from Piano Vetore by MTB (approximately 1.750 mt) we will cross an easy dirt road called Pista Altomontana towards Galvarina hut (approximately 1.850 mt), where we will make the first of the various stops. Subsequently we will travel along a characteristic Etnean descent, full of long, sandy and fast hairpin bends, immersed in old and characteristic lava valleys towards Monte Arso, where we will make a short stop for admiring the landscape. Once we have set off again, we will continue cycling towards Case Zampini, where we will stop for a packed lunch (not provided by the ORG). After the lunch we will set off again along a trail full of lava sand and challenging climbs, expertly interspersed with fast and fun trails. Tested your physical technical skills, we will finish the MTB tour at the starting point of Piano Vetore.
