Etna Summit Craters in 4x4 and Trekking
Overview
Our hike to the summit craters is suitable for people who walk well and are in good health. Our itinerary takes place on the northern side of Etna using special 4x4 vehicles (THE TICKET FOR THIS SERVICE COSTS €50). IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPATION QUOTA). The Guide will take you from 2900 m up to the edge of the summit craters to enjoy the spectacular scenery offered by this majestic volcano. You will be in direct contact with the fumaroles and the sounds of the main crater. From this altitude the panorama will allow you to observe the island of Sicily from its highest point: the Ionian Sea, Taormina and then beyond the mountains surrounding Etna, the Nebrodi and the Madonie, the Aeolian Islands archipelago. The descent will take place within the sandy gullies or the Valley of the Bove, places characterized by extraordinary lunar landscapes, until the parking lot where we will say goodbye. Simply an unforgettable experience!
