What a stunning climb with a brand new road with no other road users! This side of Etna is actually much prettier than the southern side due to the forests.... read more

Beautiful climb through the forests on etna. just try to do this climb during the week. I myself did it on a Sunday and then there are a lot of motorcyclists on this road which sometimes makes you feel a bit unsafe.

The part just before Piano Provenzano is very steep and is a heavy blow after about's 17 km of climbing.

Prachtige beklimming door de bossen op de etna. probeer deze klim alleen wel doordeweeks te doen. Zelf heb ik hem op zondag gedaan en dan rijden er ontzettend veel motorrijders over deze weg wat je soms wat onveilig doet voelen.

Het stuk net voor Piano Provenzano is heel steil en is een zware klap na zo'n 17 km klimmen.

Wat een schitterende beklimming met een gloednieuwe weg zonder andere weggebruikers! Deze kant van de Etna is door de bossen eigenlijk veel mooier dan de zuidkant.
