Etna Alba: Exciting excursion with Typical Sicilian Breakfast (Private Tour)
Overview
With this excursion we will reach one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Etna volcano to admire the sweet beauty of the sunrise.
The Sartorius Mountains (1,720 m) will be the place where we will wait for the sunrise. They are ancient craters formed during the 1865 eruption. The name is a tribute to Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen, the first scientist to catalog the eruptions of the volcano in the 19th century. From the Sartorius Mountains we will move to the Grotta della Neve, a small lava flow tunnel used in the past as a snow mill (place where snow was kept for the summer season). The last leg of the tour will take us to Case Pietracannone. From the structure we will follow the path to Monte Fontane, crossing the lava fields of the eruptions of 1950-51 and 1979. Reached the top of the mountain (1,278 m), in front of us the panorama will open on the vast black sea of the Valle del Bove.
Returning to the meeting point we will thank our guests with a typical Sicilian breakfast.
