Norwegian cyclists are becoming an increasingly familiar sight on Sicily's roads.
Over the last few years, more and more Scandinavians have discovered what locals have always known: incredible climbs, quiet mountain roads, great food and endless opportunities to ride.
This week, Eric, Henning, Anders, Halvor, Kjetil and Peer chose Taormina as their base for a cycling holiday across some of north-eastern Sicily's most iconic routes.
From the lava fields and snow-covered summit views of Mount Etna to the green landscapes of the Alcantara Valley, every ride revealed a different side of the island.
They also explored Savoca, one of Sicily's most beautiful hilltop villages, famous worldwide for its connection to The Godfather and for the breathtaking views overlooking the Ionian coast.
Another highlight of the week was Passo di Portella Mandrazzi, one of Sicily's most legendary climbs. Featured several times in both the Giro d'Italia and the Giro di Sicilia, it has become a benchmark ascent for professional riders and a must-ride road for cyclists visiting the island.
One week.
Hundreds of kilometres.
Countless views worth stopping for.
Thank you for choosing Sicily, guys.
We hope to see you back on the island soon. 🇮🇹🤝🇳🇴🌋🚴♂️
