Why you’ll love this…
  • Discover the amazing summit of the Mount Etna crater on a unique trekking experience
  • Hike on the astounding paths that lead to the Summit craters of the Etna
  • Descend along the ash and volcanic remains of the Etna and admire the view that surrounds you
What to expect

On board special 4x4 vehicles you will climb along the panoramic road of the north side of Etna through ancient craters and recent lava flows up to an altitude of 2960 meters. Subsequently the ascent of 3km on foot will begin on a path made up of bombs and volcanic slag. The difference in altitude to be covered uphill will be 330 meters until you reach the real Central Crater of Etna, at an altitude of 3300 meters, during the climb you will take breaks (for explanations and refreshments). Once at the summit, we stop to admire the grandeur and uniqueness of the volcanic environment, the processes connected to it and the spectacular view from the roof of Sicily (visibility may vary depending on the weather or volcanic conditions). The 2km descent will take place along the same route taken uphill, only the last stretch will take place inside small channels made up of soft and friable volcanic slag, on which it is possible to walk easily without major problems by adopting the necessary precautions. Returning to an altitude of 2825 meters you will board the 4x4 vehicles for the return to Piano Provenzana.

This tour is suggested for people in good physical condition.
