Overview

A trek that allows us to climb to the top of the The highest active volcano in Europe and to listen to the breath of a living mountain. The ascent is carried out by cable car and 4 × 4 minibuses up to an altitude of 2900m in the area of Torre del Filosofo, from here after about 1.5h of uphill walking you will arrive on the edge of the central crater from which you can observe the Bocca Nuova (3250m ), which opened in 1968, probably the most impressive crater. The itinerary could change due to the activity of the volcano or weather conditions

Itinerary

  • Mount Etna (Pass By)

    The ascent is made by cable car and 4 × 4 minibus up to 2900m in the Torre del Filosofo area, from here after about 1.5h uphill walk you reach the edge of the central Crater from which you can see the Bocca Nuova (3250m ), opened in 1968, probably the most impressive crater. Going around the Bocca Nuova you find yourself on the edge of the Voragine, the heart of the Central Crater and from here going up a steep but short climb to the North East Crater, formed in 1911 and a veritable summit of Etna (3329m). From the top we can wander 360 ° with the eye, and if the day allows it, we can see the Aeolian Islands to the north. From the top we begin the long descent, steep but easy slope of ashes and scoria passing through the volcanic amphitheater of the Valle del Bove, a spectacular caldera of 8km of length and 4km of width, up to return to the station of arrival of the cable car at an altitude of 2500mt .

Great and interesting hike

Published on Dec, 2024

in spite of the restriction of 3k altitude (placed upon all tour groups) nino (our guide) managed to show us many interesting things and made sure it was a great experience

Unforgettable Etna experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a clear day on Etna and a very good guide, Vincenzo. A very impressive 4 hour walk from 2500 meter (upper station of the funicular) to 3000 meter and back. Along beautiful craters. Vincenzo told us a lot about Etna and vulcanology. An unforgettable experience. Good to know that the price of the funicular (50 euro pp) is not included. The walk is not very entiring, but you experience the altitude. The guide looked very well after the group.

Our Great Mount Etna Experience

Published on Sep, 2024

We loved to be lead by our guide Simone. Very considerate and one could see that he is really engaged by his profession and eager to answer any questions, definitely not someone who just does his job but burns for his profession. The group dynamic was good, the equipment available was appropriate and uncomplicated to obtain as well to return. Last but not least, the tour itself was breathtaking, offering stunning views at the steaming mountaintop of mount Etna. We were very fortunate to get some beautifull weather on the mountain, as it was forecast to be much worse the day before.

Amazing, Nature at it’s best

Published on Sep, 2024

We were very lucky in as much as Etna actually erupted 2 days after we stood on the top looking down into the crater. An absolutely amazing experience and box ticked for sure.

Etna Guide Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

We booked a guided tour to the top of Etna in August 2024. Just before the trip we were informed that the central crater could not be visited due to the high risk of eruption, so we were not sure if the tour was worth it. But when the tour started we were proved wrong. Our guides were Giuseppe and Simone. They both did a great job and managed to capture our attention and interest in the volcano right from the start. We learned a lot about the history and the volcanic processes. We climbed to an altitude of 3000 meters and were able to enjoy a wonderful view over the old and recently formed craters. At the top we could inhale the gases coming from the lava, feel the heat of the lava stones and have a nice picknip at the top. Last but not least, we got some local (secret) tips about the Sicilian food and drinks from Giuseppe. I would highly recommend to book and do this tour if you are visiting Sicily.
