Overview

The highest active volcano in Europe and to listen to the breath of a living mountain. The ascent is carried out by cable car and 4 × 4 minibuses up to an altitude of 2900m in the area of Torre del Filosofo, from here after about 1.5h of uphill walking you will arrive on the edge of the central crater from which you can observe the Bocca Nuova (3250m ), which opened in 1968, probably the most impressive crater.
The itinerary could change due to the activity of the volcano or weather conditions

Mount Etna (pass by)

The ascent is made by cable car and 4 × 4 minibus up to 2900m in the Torre del Filosofo area, from here after about 1.5h uphill walk you reach the edge of the central Crater from which you can see the Bocca Nuova (3250m ), opened in 1968, probably the most impressive crater.Going around the Bocca Nuova you find yourself on the edge of the Voragine, the heart of the Central Crater and from here going up a steep but short climb to the North East Crater, formed in 1911 and a veritable summit of Etna (3329m). From the top we can wander 360 ° with the eye, and if the day allows it, we can see the Aeolian Islands to the north.From the top we begin the long descent, steep but easy slope of ashes and scoria passing through the volcanic amphitheater of the Valle del Bove, a spectacular caldera of 8km of length and 4km of width, up to return to the station of arrival of the cable car at an altitude of 2500mt .
