The first section is in the hills with gentle slopes. The second section is more challenging as it allows us to overcome a difference in height of 150 meters in less than 500 meters with an average gradient of 50%. You could lengthen the route trying to wind along the sides of the mountain, reducing the slopes by 15%.

The effort will be satisfied by the splendid panorama that can be admired from the top. It ranges up to the Ionian Sea following the profile of Etna. A few more ups and downs and then down to the arrival / departure. The advice is to equip yourself to stay a few hours at the top for a snack or to extend the route at high altitude.
