Mount Etna

Our excursion to the summit craters is organized on the northern side of the volcano, one of the most scenically beautiful places on Etna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will meet the guide at 1800 meters and after a short briefing we will reach an altitude of 2900 with the use of special 4x4 vehicles. From here the trek will begin which will take us to the edge of the summit craters in approximately 1.30/2 hours. Here, at 3260 meters above sea level, you will admire the surreal panorama inside the summit craters. The edge of Bocca Nuova is characterized by the colorful colors of sulphurous concretions and other minerals, by fumaroles and if possible by eruptive activity. Furthermore, you will find yourself on the highest point of the island and will therefore be able to enjoy a breathtaking view over a good part of Sicily: the Ionian Sea, Taormina and then beyond the mountains surrounding Etna, the Nebrodi and the Madonie, the archipelago of Aeolian Islands. The descent will take place on foot on volcanic sand gullies!
