What you can expect

Hike to the top of Europe's tallest active volcano with a volcanological guide. Discover the views from the summit craters, explore a lava tunnel and the Valle del Bove.

Meet your guide at the local partner's office opposite the station of the southern Etna cableway. From the top of the cable car you will cross lunar landscapes aboard a 4x4 up to an altitude of 2850-meters in the Torre del Filosofo area.

Begin your trek until we reach the edge of the Bocca Nuova (3300-meters) a crater which opened in 1968, one of the most impressive in the area. Stroll to the top and enjoy 360° panoramas and, if the weather permits, see as far as the Aeolian Islands and almost all of northern Sicily.

Descend from the summit craters and pass through the craters of the 2002 eruption, then walk down a fun descent of volcanic sand and admire the volcanic amphitheater of the Valle del Bove, a spectacular caldera 8 km long and 4 km wide. Return by cable car to the starting point.
The tour may be subject to changes due to volcanic risk or weather conditions
Cablecar price and 4x4 is not included (65€ per person and must be paid the same day of the reservation with a payment link)
