Start this full-day excursion on the North side of Etna with an enjoyable drive up to Piano Provenzana, situated at 1.810 meters above sea level, passing through a mix of nature and volcanic scenarios, and followed by a short technical stop.
Now the real experience starts, on a specialized off-road 4x4 vehicle with a volcanological or alpine guide that will accompain you for the entire tour. You will see the lava-covered hotel and the lava fields left behind by the 2002 eruption, and the rugged terrain with hardened lava flows creating jagged rocky landscapes, starkly beautiful and eerily desolate.
Moreover, during the tour there will be two stops with two short walks: the first one on the edges of the last craters of 2002, the second one at 2.850 meters to reach the panoramic viewpoint. After that, you will return to Piano Provenzana and then back to your hotel.
