MTB e-BIKE CAMP IN ETNA&TAORMINA
The Media World Cup Foundation invites you to 8-day international MTB cycling camps in Sicily in historic Taormina and the nearby town of Giardinii Naxos. During eight days, you will discover the most beautiful and mysterious places that can only be reached by mountain bike. Among the hundreds of kilometers of routes around the ETNA volcano, we have chosen the most exciting ones.
Our base are in two 4-star hotels with their own beach and swimming pool, only 10 minutes from the iconic Taormina. Nearby area is a combination of mountains, Etna volcano and Ionian Sea. Taormina is the most beautifull place in Italy located on Tauro mountain founded by Greek and Siculs. The legend says that the name of the city came from words „Minotaur” and „Tauro”.
The most important events of our camp are, of course, trips on the unique routes of the eastern part of Sicily. Gravel routes lead through National Parks and the partially forested slopes of the Etna volcano. The highest hills you can climb are over 3,000 meters above sea level!
We have planned routes adapted to each participant’s level of training. Thanks to the use of professional electric bikes, completing the designated routes will not require high mountain bike riding skills.
For those who prefer more advanced mountain biking, we have prepared more difficult routes, which include demanding uphill and downhill sections as well as single-track trails.
After many kilometers, all those who want to regenerate can enjoy the warm sea, swimming pools and SPA zones in our hotels. Those interested will be able to take advantage of professional massages, which can be ordered at the hotel.
People from, among others, Poland, Norway, Canada, the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland and the UK will take part in the camps – participants of the previous 6th edition of the Media world Cup.

7 nights in 4-star hotels in Giardini-Naxos and Zafferana Etnea 7 breakfast, lunch and dinner 12 routes with qualified bicycle guides Drink for cycling trips Evenings in Taormina – sightseeing and dinner Full-day trip to Syracuse (guide + boat cruise) Professional electric bikes Hotel transfer from/to Catania airport (approx. 30 minutes) Insurance Additional attractions (diving, dolphinarium, fishing)
