A very even climb with new asphalt in some places and bad in others. The climb is rideable, a few times with double-digit gradients, and is characterised by a breathtaking view of Etna, the centuries-old craters below and the view of the towns on the southern slope (Adrano, Biancavilla, S.Maria di Licodia and Paternò). ... read more

A very even climb with new asphalt in some places and bad in others.
The climb is rideable, a few times with double-digit gradients, and is characterised by a breathtaking view of Etna, the centuries-old craters below and the view of the towns on the southern slope (Adrano, Biancavilla, S.Maria di Licodia and Paternò).

Salita molto regolare con asfalto nuovo in alcuni punti e male in altri.
La salita è pedalabile, poche volte con pendenza in doppia cifra ed è caratterizzata da una vista mozzafiato dell'Etna, dei crateri secolari posti in basso e la vista dei paesi del versante Sud (Adrano, Biancavilla, S.Maria di Licodia e Paternò).
