An intense and breathtaking experience, conveying all the power and beauty of Mount Etna.
By cable car and/or off-road vehicles we will reach an altitude of 2,800 m, the starting point of our trek. From here begins the ascent to the summit craters of Mount Etna, immersed in a spectacular volcanic landscape: active fumaroles, recent lava flows, and unique geological formations will accompany us to the summit, at an altitude of 3,300 m.
Once at the top, we will walk along the edge of the Central Crater, overlooking the active vents inside. We will also be able to admire up close the famous South-East Crater, the protagonist of the most recent eruptions. Besides the active craters, the landscape is dominated by yellow and white sulfur deposits, gas emissions, and solidified black lava that tells the living history of the volcano.
The return journey will take place via an evocative path through fine volcanic ash and lava scoria, with spectacular views of the Sicilian coast.
Once back to an altitude of around 2,800 m, we will return via:
- cable car (if departing from Etna South)
- 4x4 bus (if departing from Etna North)
This itinerary, due to its typology and altitude, is suitable for people in a good state of physical health, not suffering from particular pathologies (strongly not recommended for those suffering from cardiovascular or respiratory problems, or hypertension).
