ETNA SUD 1: Trail Vetore-Milia-Ciukino

The tour starts from Altomontana-Milia parking lot near Ariel refuge, with 3 trails:

VETORE: km 0.92, dsl -179 mt, average gradient -19.3%, trail (S1) flow in the forest with 4 drops of about 40-50cm of which 2 are natural, the terrain mainly sandy with some roots. Periodically maintained.

MILIA: km 1.23, dsl -177 mt, average gradient -13.4%, trail (S0-S1) flow on lava steppe with a couple of 40-50cm drops, the terrain sandy and rocky with loose stones.

Occasional maintenance but cyclable.Theoretically there is a somewhat abandoned second part that descends with steps but if you have parked at high altitude it doesn't pay off.

CIUKINO or at least that's what I call it: km 1.35, dsl -185 mt, average gradient -13.6%, trail (S0-S1) flow diverging to the right from Milia trail, sandy and rocky terrain with loose stones, being a bit abandoned occasionally you can visually lose track but still rideable.
