What To Expect
Etna Est
Start from your accommodation.
Mount Etna
Along the trail that will take us up to 2000mt a.s.l., our guide will tell you about how the highest volcano in Europe was born, without leaving the aspects related to flora and fauna that characterize it. After admiring old and new lava flows we will proceed on foot to the inner part of old craters. The charming panorama and the picturesque scenery will give us the feeling of being on the moon. After a short break, the hike will continue with a visit, carrying helmet and torch, inside a lava cave to admire a unique spectacle. Walking through a luxuriant vegetation, we will finally admire the spectacular Valle del Bove.

5.00The weather is not in command, a potentially disastrous day, in the middle of a cyclone, with abundant snowfall at high altitude.... Instead, thanks especially to the guide Maurizio, who with his calm and experience changed the itinerary in the race and in the end luck helped the bold! From the lava flows of 92 in Zafferana Etnea, to the visits to the tunnels dug by lava, to the walk in the snow on top of a sylvestrian crater, complete with a toast at high altitude with wine and biscuits, it was a beautiful experience, recommended even to those who are not experts in trekking and mountains.
Great family experience

5.00We had a great time! Etna was beautiful with the snow and this trip was a perfect way for our family (7yo and 10yo kids) to learn about the vulcano and see the craters up close. The kids loved the cave too. Thanks to our guide Elio for a great day, we will definitely be back!
Brilliant trip despite cloud and snow

5.00Loved the trip. Despite rather cloudy weather. But also shocked to discover that Etna is covered in deep snow at this time of year. So the hike was pretty challenging. Footwear with more grip and trousers that were a barrier to snow going into shoes would have been preferable. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable going into detail about the geological changes over time.
