Overview

Our tour of Mount Etna takes you to the maximum altitude allowed, up to 3000-3400 metres, for an authentic experience away from the most tourist routes.

We will reach an altitude of 2500 metres with the cable car (ticket to be paid separately on site), and then continue on foot between lunar landscapes and breathtaking views of Sicily.

The route also includes a visit to a lava flow cave, a unique opportunity to discover the underground formations shaped by eruptions. Groups limited to 10 people, equipment provided and a perfect experience for true hiking enthusiasts.
