Experience the awe-inspiring summit of Mount Etna, Europe's highest active volcano, on this extraordinary trek. Your journey begins at 1,900 metres on the volcano's southern slope, just north of Nicolosi. You'll ascend via cable car and off-road minibus to 2,900 metres, where a licensed alpine/volcano guide will lead you to the highest permitted altitudes.
At the summit, you'll witness the impressive active craters: Bocca Nuova, Voragine, South-East Crater, and North-East Crater. As you descend on foot, you'll explore sites of recent eruptions, gaining insights into the volcano's dynamic nature. This small-group excursion offers a unique opportunity to experience Etna's striking landscape up close.
The trek involves a 400-metre elevation gain on foot, making it moderately challenging. The exact altitude reached may vary based on current volcanic activity and regulations. This tour provides a rare chance to stand atop one of the world's most famous volcanoes, surrounded by views that will stay with you long after you've returned to sea level.
