The Altomontana track is a path at an average altitude of 1700m above sea level, which draws nearly a half-circle around Mount Etna from the South-West to the North-East. On this track you can fully immerse yourself in the nature and history of this awesome volcano.

Your adventure begins at the Rifugio Sapienza on the southern side of Etna, from which you will be accompanied to the Melia Gate, the real entrance to Etna. After some km of asphalt you will feel a flood of emotions as you pass through forests of pine, fir, chestnut, passing old lava flows and breathtaking scenery. Along this path you will meet the Rifugio Galvarina, the highest point of the path at an altitude 1945m. Following, you will see the Rifugio Palestra, the famous "Pagghiaru" (emergency shelter for farmers or shepherds), until arriving at one of the many lava caves of Etna: the cave of Mount Nunziata. From here you will be accompanied back to the departure point.
