• Mount Etna - The journey to the summit begins with a ride on a cable car and a 4 imes 4 minibus to the Torre del Filosofo area at 2900m. From there, a trek of approximately 1.5 hours uphill brings you to the brink of the central Crater, where you can gaze upon the Bocca Nuova (3250m), which emerged in 1968 and is likely the most magnificent of the craters.

Circling the Bocca Nuova, you arrive at the rim of the Voragine, the pulsating core of the Central Crater. Ascending a steep yet brief incline leads to the North East Crater, established in 1911, which stands as the true peak of Etna at 3329m. At this pinnacle, a panoramic view unfolds in every direction, and on clear days, the Aeolian Islands are visible to the north.

The descent commences from the summit, down a sharp yet manageable slope of volcanic ash and cinders, cutting through the grand volcanic basin known as the Valle del Bove. This impressive caldera stretches 8km in length and 4km in width, leading back to the cable car’s arrival station at an elevation of 2500m.
