Overview

Reach the summit of the majestic volcano and admire a splendid view of the Ionian coast. Discover the most evocative places of this active volcano, between ancient eruptive cones and immense lava fields, for an unforgettable experience immersed in nature and history.

The hike will allow you to reach the summit area of Etna, at an altitude of about 3100 meters above sea level, in a unique, almost lunar landscape. The departure will be from 1900 meters altitude, with cable car and 4x4 jeep, from where we will continue on foot, for a total of 5 km, with a volcanological guide, up to the Central Crater at 3345 meters above sea level. From the crater, a breathtaking panorama will open up over the Ionian coast and the various towns at the foot of this majestic mountain. The itinerary also includes a visit to ancient eruptive cones and vast lava fields. Return to the starting point with cable car and 4x4 jeep.

Mount Etna

The excursion we propose takes place on the southern side of the volcano and will allow you to reach the Central Crater of Etna, at an altitude of about 3345 meters above sea level, in a unique landscape, almost lunar. The start will be from 1900 meters above sea level, by cable car, followed by a 4x4 jeep excursion to the permitted point, from where we will continue on foot for 5km round trip, accompanied by the guide, to the maximum point of visit, the central crater. Here you will have the feeling of walking on a live and pulsating volcano, surrounded by fumes, gases and the intense yellow color of sulfur. From the crater you will have a breathtaking view of the Ionian coast and the various villages that lie at the foot of this majestic mountain. The itinerary also includes a visit to ancient eruptive cones and vast lava fields. Return to the starting point by 4x4 jeep and cable car.
