Join us for a wonderful trekking experience on the highest active volcano in Europe!
After a short briefing with your guide, you will take the cable car from Rifugio Sapienza (1910m) that will take you to 2500 meters above sea level.

From there, you will begin your ascent to discover the crater of the 2001 eruption and find yourself surrounded by an almost lunar landscape. This crater produced one of the strongest eruptions of the third millennium!

Next, you will head towards the Belvedere of the Valle del Bove, considered the most beautiful panoramic viewpoint on Mount Etna, at an altitude of about 2750 meters. You will be amazed by the beauty of this volcanic depression, which dates back 64,000 years!
Once there, you will stop to admire the surrounding landscape, take some souvenir photos, or simply enjoy the breathtaking panorama from which you can see as far as the famous Taormina and Syracuse.
From this point, you will also have a privileged view of the Summit Craters, where you can witness the constant release of gases and steam.

You will then explore a crater depression called Cisternazza, and finally return to 2500 meters to take the cable car and head back to Rifugio Sapienza.
