Mount Etna Small-Group Volcano Excursion
Mount Etna is Europe’s largest active volcano but its spectacular hiking trails are often poorly marked and challenging to follow. With this guided small-group excursion, explore the lunar landscape without the hassle of reading a trail map and visit lava fields, extinct craters, and a lava tube cave in just a few hours. Delve into the area’s geothermal history and activity and take in sweeping views over the Valle del Bove.
Highlights
- ✓Explore Mt. Etna with a guide to avoid getting lost on the confusing trails
- ✓Learn about the volcano’s recent eruptions and visit its craters
- ✓Helmets and flashlights to explore the lava tube provided
- ✓Hotel pickup included for added convenience
What you'll see & do
- ✓Trek past volcanic craters, ancient lava flows that give the volcano a lunar landscape, the breathtaking beauty of Etna's landscapes under the soft glow of the morning sun. I will lead you through ancient forests, past extinct craters, and across the moon-like lava fields that testify to Etna's dynamic nature. We'll walk and explore the area at 2000 meters, and old lateral craters. We will visit a volcanic cave, a lava tube and I will share the rich geological history of Mount Etna with the breathtaking views. We'll cap off the morning's adventure with a visit to a traditional Sicilian farm, where you can indulge in a tasting of local products and wines. It's the perfect way to relax and reflect on the morning's experiences while enjoying the flavors of Sicily. Since the 2nd of October 25 , you need a ticket to visit the small Silvestri Crater.
