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.

You don't go up the cable and there's a lot of time in the van. Driver was good and guide Leonardo was nice, helpful and had good stories

Pleasant and rather quiet excursion. Small walk of 2km at 2 inactive craters. If you want to hike and see the summit of Mount Etna, this is not the right activity. However, if you want to learn more about the history of the volcano, seeing ancient craters at 2000m and an ancient lava flow is the right choice. The guide is great and we had a great time!

Giuseppe is an excellent guide. He takes the time to explain and listens. We were lucky enough to be a small group of six. The excursion is very interesting and accessible with children. We really enjoyed it. Thanks again to Giuseppe for his kindness

Great experience I recommend. The route was very simple. I just wish I had done more hiking.
