Etna Bike Tour - Pedalando in Sicilia





Descrizione
Inizia a pedalare in direzione Catania per circa 5 km in zona pianeggiante. Il nostro obiettivo è riscaldare i nostri muscoli e familiarizzare con le nostre biciclette da strada. Una volta terminata la prima parte della salita dell'Etna tour, arriva una morbida collina dal 5% al 10% per circa altri 5 km. Passiamo sopra Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, un paesino così chiamato per via di un fiume sotterraneo che qui scorre dal versante nord-orientale dell'Etna. Osserva i cambiamenti nella vegetazione, che diventa sempre più folta e selvaggia. Finalmente ci troviamo circondati da uliveti, campi e verdi, caratteristiche di questa regione. Le prime cantine da muro e da vino.

Marco was very helpful and reliable.
Marco sorted me out with a road bike at short notice and he was there to sort out a problem I had with a pedal (he gave me a replacement bike so I could be on my way quickly). Had a great time riding along the coast (too hot for the hills). Good value for money, so happy to recommend Sicily Bike Hire.
Well organised taxi pick up and drop off, safe guiding expertly paced for my ability level..and just awesome scenery
Great experience. Got a guided road bike tour up the mountain. They were very well organized and friendly. Greta was an excellent guide - very patient with an old, slow guy. Decent bike. Only quibble is that the bike had a semi-compact chainring and a not- very- easy cassette; they should get a little easier gearing for regular people doing that climb
Our group of four had the most incredible experience with Etna Bike Tours, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! We did a full-day e-bike tour starting in Palazzolo Acreide, heading toward Ferla, and winding through breathtaking forests and mountain landscapes. Our guide, Manuela, was absolutely amazing—encouraging and full of great energy. She made the entire journey feel safe, fun, and deeply connected to the beauty of the region. One of the most memorable parts of the day was our lunch stop—a truly unforgettable meal at a local spot that felt like a hidden gem. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, including a final bakery stop back in town. Even more impressive was how inclusive the experience was. A few people in our group who weren’t able to bike joined our second guide in the support van and met us at each stop along the way, so they could still be a part of the adventure. It made the day feel special for everyone. This wasn’t just a bike tour—it was a full sensory experience of Sicily’s landscapes, flavors, and hospitality. Truly a magical day we’ll never forget!
We had a nice little group of three plus Marco our guide. As expected, there were a couple of longish climbs followed by a flatter 8km which was good to rest the legs a bit. One final water stop before the last 14km climb to the refuge. Roads were good and the gradient never too steep. Excellent coffee and cake at the top before the long descent back to Naxos. Slightly spoilt by a couple of tour buses and some iffy road surfaces but that's not Marco's fault of course. Decent bikes, look like they're well maintained. Highly recommended.
Our guide, Luigi, was excellent. He was very patient with our slow pace and informative about the surrounding area. It was hot the day we cycled up Mt Etna at 91 deg F.....Luigi kept us topped off with fluids from the local water fountains and our water bottles. The bikes we rented from them were top notch. Highly recommend them for anyone who desires to cycle Mt Etna.
The best and most gruelling ride in a long time. This is so long overdue. So first off my apologies! The scenery, the hospitality and the ride was a trip to remember.
Excellent ride. Luigi was a great host and guide! Had an excellent time. Would come again. Definitely recommended
We toured Mount Etna with Leonardo, an extraordinary and attentive guide. He had patience, as it was my first time mountain biking. We climbed about 1,000 meters by bike and it was amazing all the landscapes we witnessed: the Alcantara Valley, the iconic villages on the mountain, unique views of Mount Etna, vineyards, and back on the descent we had a view of the sea.
