Etna cicloalpinismo

Leaving from Rifugio Citelli, following a section of Sentiero Italia, we arrive at Piano Provenzano, pedaling on paths and dirt tracks characterized by the bottom of volcanic sand, which put a strain on the legs. A long and hard Trazzera with challenging ramps, 80% pedaled with good legs, we reach in a Lunar environment the Volcanological Observatory of Pizzo Deneri, at an altitude of 2845 meters just below the North East summit crater of #etna.

A short section with bike on the shoulder to reach the Deneri summit with fantastic views of the Bove valley, and the Gulf of Catania. Ridge descent with segments on volcanic dust, and long ups and downs on lava rockgarden, small climbs and a few passes carrying the bike, to Serra delle Concazze. We reach the volcanic cave of Serracozzo, on a stupendous trail with many hairpin bends sometimes very technical, climb in with push bike a short but strenuous ridge, where a last stretch on beautiful natural flow bank awaits us to the starting point.
