Trail Description:
Steep killer downhill at first but gets rockey at the bottom. After fighting with the big rocks you go on to a mild single track with beautifull scenery of Mt Etna. Now it gets challenging with medium to step uphills but it is worth the climb at the top of Motta hill when you can tour the Castle of Motta. It is a great ride, but is not for begginers. So far it is the only trail I know of in Sicily for MTB. But I WILL FIND THEM or invent them.

How to get there:
If you ever get to go to Sicily, it is a great place. The island has one of the most active volcanos in the world, Mt Etna. Motta S. A. (nicknamed "Little America") is the city just outside of the airport in Catania Fontannarosa.
