Overview

Mount Etna is the highest active stratovolcano in the world.

We propose to spend a day with us in a small friendly group to discover a beautiful nature, endemic flora and fauna and the amazing environment of Mount Etna.

We will pick you up in the morning in the certain meeting point (8.30 piazza Stesicoro 32, Catania or 9.15 piazza S.Alfio in Trecastagni - PLEASE SPECIFY WHERE). On the way to Etna we will stop on a village for a coffee break and to buy food for the lunch time.

We will drive to reach the altitude of 2.000 above sea level. At this altitude we will start our moderate hike off the beaten tracks (approx. 3 hours) to admire the fascinating landscape of the Valle del Bove, the biggest caldera of Mount Etna and its moon like deserts. From there we will enjoy breathtaking views of the summit craters and the surrounding landscapes facing the Ionian Sea.

We provide for shoes, trekking poles, wind stoppers

Tour available all year long.

The guides were excellent with loads of knowledge. They took the time to assist if needed and shared their knowledge throughout the hike.

First time mountain hiker, and it was an experience that I will never forget. Etna’s grandeur inspires fear and respect. Knowledgeable and experienced guides were crucial in making this an unforgettable adventure. Well worth the money.

Even with the bad weather we had an amazing trip! The guide was very professional and could tell a lot about the volcano and it’s eruptions.

The best way to experience Mount Etna is to let Ernesto lead the way. His tour is well organized, all necessary equipment is provided (boots, gaiters, poles, helmets, etc); all you have to do is climb up up and up!! The views along the way are simply breathtaking. The pace of this tour allows for frequent breaks to acclimatize to the altitude and take photos. Ernesto guides you along the best routes while providing information on the volcano and the region. We had a fantastic time doing the morning tour. i highly recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you Ernesto for such a special day in Sicily!
