Overview

This activity is allows our guests to have an immersion into the calm and pristine nature of the highest volcano in Europe, one of the most active in the world. Scenic views, volcanic structures, recent lava eruptions and woods are the key elements of this slow walking along the oldest and most famous natural path on Mt. Etna. Other tours are often in a hurry and packed: we have a slow pace and want to transmit the beauty and silence of a unique place. We also include a restoring stop with some local food (panini) just because this is the spirit of our activity.

– The EASY option is a trekking activity, easy level, along a volcanic path, with different views and samples of volcanic activity. Restoring break at a shelter with panini included

– The TOP option is direct to the cableway for scenic views, with no much trekking or hiking. It includes a walk on the edge and to the bottom of an ancient crater.

What to expect

The Etna Trekking Day is a lovely open-air activity for all skill levels. After pick-up, we will drive to Mt. Etna and we will stop according to the chosen option:

1) EASY – the most famous and the oldest natural trail, Monte Nero degli Zappini. It's one of the best paths, because it offers scenic views, walking on old and recent lava eruptions, seeing some particular volcanic structures, and an immersion into a pinewood. We will then stop at a shelter, halfway on the trail, for a restoring break with panini (we can arrange different meals according to specific dietary requirements). The total length of the path is about 4KM and the total duration is about 3 hours. Shorter length of the path is possible. The activity includes transport and it's subject to mountain weather conditions.

– TOP: we will drive to the cableway station (ticket included) and reach altitude of 2500m for an amazing view. On descent, we will stop at Crateri Silvestri and will walk to the edge and bottom of these ancient craters.
