Gathering of participants and briefings
We meet in Francavilla di Sicilia. We will start with a technical briefing and the preparation of the vehicles, analyzing the path to face the day with the right set-up and in total safety.
Delivery of technical clothing and means of transport
10:00 / 12:00 AM
Lascent: from the villages to the slopes
Starting from Francavilla, we will point the wheels towards Castiglione di Sicilia, one of the most fascinating villages dItaly. We will go up the slope along ancient mule tracks and traces of the countryside, where the technical background mixes with rural views dominated by the Alcantara valley.
The journey then continues with the “flow” of an old railway line (today dirt / cycle path) that will lead us to the gates of Linguaglossa.
12:00 / 14:00 AM
In the heart of the volcano: caves and skiing
From Linguaglossa the real challenge begins. We will go up towards theEtna crossing centuries-old woods and ancient paths that cut lava skis. During the ascent we will experience two unique moments:
Underground exploration
We will visit a suggestive lava flow cave, sculpted by the force of the fire.
The big flows
We will reach the points where the lava has redesigned the territory, offering a unique driving terrain in the world for grips and sensations.
Regenerating stop immersed in the silence of the volcanic landscape. A typical lunch to recharge the batteries surrounded by Etna forests and a view that sweeps to the sea.
14:00 AM
Lunch
15:00 / 16:00
The descent: adrenaline and downhill
After lunch, the return to Francavilla will be pure adrenaline. We will descend along the technical and fast downhill tracks, a succession of guided passages and scenic paths that will take us back to the valley with a smile under the helmet
return to the Francavilla commercial, material delivery, exchange of media products.
