02 Apr MOUNTAINBIKE IN SICILY

Versante Sud presents at BIT, at the stand of the region of Sicily, the new MTB guide in Sicily.

A guide to the still genuine discovery of Sicily, through unknown paths to mass tourism, which allows the rider or cyclist to enjoy an extraordinary heritage and lovely fruit of a mix of sun, nature, art, culture, history and cuisine, available 365 days a year.

This has been achieved before studying the maps and historical books the ancient paths, principal roads, then along the island far and wide, exploring and discovering gaps, woods, questioning old and locals.

The territories of Agrigento, Palermo and Trapani but also the Madonie parks, Nebrodi and Etna, along all routes that have the features of a dream:

“Infinity dust and trails that run through the wilderness to small and cozy villages populated completely avoiding the asphalt. A treasure trove for those who want to visit Sicily with a bike XC or All Mountain, Enduro or even with the particularity that the routes can be composed like a puzzle to make the journey without pause from one country to another, from ‘inland to the sea or along the coast or cross the Sicilian coast to coast!“

But not only offroad: Alessandro and Franco wanted to enrich this guide some also suitable routes for cycling on the road, routes for those who want to relax on the bike and not give up on the most beautiful Sicily can give us on two wheels.
