A truly unique experience, along the off-road tracks and untouched nature of Etna.
In the driver's seat of your powerful quad bike, you will see some of the most stunning spots of the territory of Etna. The quad bike available for use is of the new generation: the Polaris 570 Sportman, 20% more powerful than the traditional quad bike.You can choose between the 1.5-hour tour to the Alcantara Valley or the 4.5-hour tour to Mount Etna.
Alcantara Valley trip: you will see one of the most fascinating place of all ETNA territory. By ATV, you will leave from Gole dell'Alcantara to Francavilla di Sicilia off road. Here the view is suggestive and fascinating. During the centuries, frozen and wild water of Alcantara river has eroded an ancient lava flow, drawing a landscape similar to a canyon.Half Day tour. Duration: 4,5 hours.
You will leave from the Alcantara Gorges "Gole", following dirt tracks and nature paths in the direction of Castiglione di Sicilia, famous for its winemaking and breathtaking views of the valley. You will continue on a bike trail to Linguaglossa, from which you can see the little volcano of Moio Alcantara, Etna's farthest crater from the epicentre.
Along the way you will have the chance to see lava flows formed during numerous eruptions, before arriving at the Coruccio cave, and then Piano Provenzana at an altitude of 1,850m.Each quad can carry 2 people: driver and passenger.
