Follow Giro d'Italia routes and live the cycling legacy of Sicily with legendary Sergio Kurdyukov - creator and leader of this tour
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:
  • PART OF SIGNATURE GIRO D'ITALIA SERIES: this cycling trip is anything but the ordinary - it was inspired and created by Sergio Kurdyukov himself with all his passion and knowledge about cycling - just for you to have a cycling experience of your dream
  • RIDING QUALITY: endless roads, little traffic, little traffic and rides for every rider and every mood - from easy coffee rides overlooking the sea to leg-shredding climbs on the slopes of Etna

  • NATURE: Sicily is one of those places where top culture meets top nature - the almighty Etna dominating the skyline, gorgeous Mediterranean coast crowned with the famous bay of Taormina and endless hills just waiting to be ridden on the bike
  • GASTRONOMY: Oh the food. Do not be tricked the food being the last in the least. If this is your first time on Sicily, we envy you - there is nothing like tasting Sicilian food for the first time, even the spoilt ones will be blown away

Expect to ride every full day of the tour! But no worries - the cycling program will be accommodated to your fitness and level - we will split up in groups so everyone is comfortable. We will have easy days and hard days, so you have time to shake your legs off before the next challenge.
  • EVERY DAY IS A RIDE DAY: this is a cycling tour after all, right? So expect to ride every day - to enjoy Sicily to the fullest and explore the island as we ride.
  • CYCLING PROGRAM DAY BY DAY: if riding every single day sounds too scary, chill down - the program is created & led by professional cycling instructors, so every bit is under control. We will have easy days and we will have harder days - to make you progress without burning out. And in the end - a day off cycling is always an option!
  • RIDING GROUPS BY FITNESS & SKILLS: our instructors make sure that you and every other rider is comfortable and safe - so we split the team into groups by fitness, motivation, skills, etc. You can expect to ride at your own ability and ambition - you decide either to smash it or just take it easy that day.
  • NO RIDER IS LEFT BEHIND: as we split into groups, you will always be supervised and supported by one of our professional cycling guides. We keep the ratio of no more that 4-5 riders per one guide, to ensure everyone is supported and feels good. No rider is left behind with epico cycling.

ROUTE #1

ALCANTARA NATURAL PARK

Full option: 80 km / 1300 m
Short option: 50 km / 600 m


Exceptionally picturesque ride through Sicily's Alcantara Park, home the famous Alcantara Gorges, where crystal-clear rivers cut through dramatic basalt canyons. We'll peek the canyon from the historic bridge, while rolling through green hills, volcanic landscapes, hilltop towns - with magnificent Etna on the backdrop.


ROUTE #2

MOUNT ETNA CIRCULAR

80 km / 2100 m

This is the most epic ride of the week - climbing Etna is cycling's absolute classics and is a challenge for the legs and the mind. Yet surreal volcanic landscapes and Sicily panoramas which open up as you climb is as rewarding as they are mesmerising.


ROUTE #3

CENTURIPE

Full option: 80 km / 1200 m
Short option: 50 km / 600 m

Centuripe - a town perched on a hill, gets you possibly the best panoramic views of Mount Etna and the surrounding valleys - hence the nickname 'the balcony of Sicily'. Centuripe is wildly known for its aerial view which appears as a huge man-like figure. We'll make sure we stop for a coffee to contemplate Etna and continue the ride along winding roads and rolling hills.

ROUTE #4

SEA VIEWS: CYCLOPEAN ISLES, CATANIA COAST

45 km / 500 m

An emotional recovery ride to recharge your batteries. The cliffs you’ll see are those very rocks from the legend about Odyssey and the Polyphemus the Cyclope. The breathtaking view of the rugged  shore around Catania is one of the most instagrammable in the area. And, sure enough, one can’t help taking a coffee stop in one of the cafeterias while riding through the ancient provincial capital. Sip your coffee accompanied by a Sicilian dolce, do your people watching and breathe in the atmosphere.


ROUTE #5

ETNA, CHASING CONTADOR
Full option 80 km / 1950 m
Short option 53 km/ 1250 m


The most famous of seven Etna climbs. It was here that Alberto Contador won, took over the pink jersey in 2011 Giro and never gave it up until the grand finale in Milan. Excellent pavement and wide roads are two of the reasons why “variante Contador” is the most popular with the organizers of the Giro. A science fiction movie setting is guaranteed on the top (with some snow on Etna as a final touch) and then we are in for a spectacular downhill back to the sea.
