    On the north side it is much less touristy. The sunset starts (in June) in the late afternoon so the light is beautiful and the low sun gives a very nice image. Upstairs it is cold due to the strong wind; renting a jacket (with hood) is not unnecessary and worth it. Guide tells a lot about volcanoes. Highly recommended.

    Spectacular experience of visiting Etna accompanied by Gianluca, a highly trained guide, available and engaging even with children. We have two children aged 9 and 6 who were fascinated by the landscape and the information given by our guide! A memory that we will carry in our hearts!

    We did the circular route that leads to Bottoniera, and it was worth it. Spectacular landscapes, sometimes science fiction-like, in truly uncontaminated nature. All accompanied by explanations from the excellent guide, Gianluca, who illustrated the history of the volcano over the years, as well as other curiosities about flora and fauna. Route suitable for everyone, easy difficulty, however trekking shoes are recommended for some slightly more difficult points.

    We did the excursion with the guide Gianluca, who immediately welcomed us and promptly informed us on the methods and times of the excursion. He wisely suggested we rent more suitable footwear and lighten our backpack. Together we completed a route of approximately 4km on a slope with a total duration of 3 hours. The difficulty level of the route was medium-low, suitable even for the little ones. The excursion included numerous intermediate stops to take a break from the journey and receive interesting information from the guide regarding the historical-geographical events that affected the individual places. Breathtaking views and a constant breeze crowned the already spectacular experience.

    Today my girlfriend and I took part in the "Bottoniere" excursion and it was a wonderful experience, especially thanks to the guide Gianluca, who was able to involve us, explain and tell us all the key information and curiosities about Etna and its eruptions . He transformed the route into an educational and inspiring walk. We will definitely be back to take part in new excursions, in the meantime if you pass by here stop by to visit the "Bottoniere" with Gianluca
