Enjoy a fun excursion to Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe and a UNESCO site since 2013. Leave with your tour guide on board a comfortable coach and reach Rifugio Sapienza at 1.900 meters on the south side of the volcano. After a technical stop, ascent by cable car up to 2,500 meters and continuing on board jeeps up to the authorized crater zones at approximately 2,900 meters with the assistance of licensed Guides of the CAI (Italian Alpine Club) who will escort you for a soft trekking. Stop to admire the eventual activity of the summit craters in a safety zone according to weather conditions. Warm clothing and suitable shoes are recommended and can be rented on site. The ascents to Etna’s authorized crater areas are always escorted by guides of the Italian Alpine Club, who are responsible for the safety of the travellers and are subordinated to the decisions of the relevant authorities in relation to the changes of volcanic activity that affect the altitude reached.

On time and well organised, although the guide could have been a little more explicit in her explanations - we weren't sure exactly what to do at certain times (although when we asked her she was more than happy to give us the details). Everything was as we expected and very worthwhile.

Mount Etna itself was fantastic, however the trip was awful. We basically paid for a coach ticket there and back which was way overpriced. We didn’t know no tour was included as the description said ascend from a cable car and jeep. When we got off the bus, the guide gathered everyone together but told us that we only had the basic ticket. She took everyone else off up the mountain and pointed vaguely in the direction we needed to go to see a crater. So we had no guide at all.

Guter Service - wir wurden da abgeholt, wo uns bequem war, dank problemlosem Kontakt über E-Mail. Einzigartiges Erlaubnis auf Ätna ist empfehlenswert. Aber sehr langes anstehen in den Schlangen für die Seilbahn und nachher für die Geländewagen um oben anzukommen, sodass keine Zeit bleibt um da etwas Zeit zu verbringen und sich anzugucken, weil man schon zurück in den Bus muss.
