Cosa aspettarsi

Discover the highest active volcano in Europe with a guided trek to the summit with your authorized alpine and volcanological guide, immersing you in landscapes of exceptional beauty surrounded by craters and lava flows. After checking your equipment and a brief rundown of the day's plan, your adventure begins with an awe-inspiring trek to the very top of Etna.

Using a cable car, you'll ascend to approximately, 2500 metres above sea level. From there, a two-hour walk through lava flows and lunar-like landscapes will take you to the summit craters of Etna. Here, you'll traverse the dramatic rim of the Central Crater, confront the dizzyingly high Northeast Crater, and witness the renowned Southeast Crater - known for its recent and spectacular eruptions. In addition to the vast summit craters, you'll experience a one-of-a-kind volcanic environment, complete with gas emissions, volcanic bombs, and the ground's dazzling colours caused by the sublimation of various elements, including sulphur.

During your descent, you'll visit the Barbagallo craters and traverse a lava flow channel. Finally, with the Etna cable car, you'll return to your starting point at 2500 metres above sea level

    Viaggio di coppia


    Das Trekking auf den Etna sollte nicht unterschätzt werden , es ist steil und steinig , also sehr anstrengend aber der Ausblick von 3000m Höhe aus und das Gefühl auf einem aktiven Vulkan zu sein sind einfach traumhaft und die Anstrengung wirklich wert. Der Guide war auch sehr freundlich und seine Erzählungen sehr interessant und informativ.

    Der Bergführer Giuseppe Di Geronimo war sehr kompetent und erklärte gut. Somit bekam man zur Landschaft noch mehr Bezug und zugleich war es damit ein Erlebnis von Anfang an.

    Viaggio con un gruppo di amici


    Duidelijke informatie vooraf via whatsapp. Hele aardige, enthousiaste en bekwame gids. De klim was pittig maar met een beetje conditie prima te doen. De gids stopte regelmatig om uitleg te geven en iedereen op adem te laten komen. Heel fijn om vroeg weg te gaan, zo waren we de eerste groep die op de vulkaan liep en loop je niet tussen massa's toeristen. Veel geleerd en gezien, zelfs al waren de omstandigheden niet perfect (mistig, weinig zicht). Leukste dag van de vakantie!

    Viaggio di famiglia


    Man skal være obs på at det er en 6 timers tur og ikke 2 timer som der ellers står i annoncen. Det er vigtigt at man har et ok helbred ellers er turen nok for hård. Mega fed og fantastisk tur med minder for livet. Guiden hr helt styr på både sikkerhed og kan fortælle meget om vulkaner og geologi. Kan kun anbefales med max point herfra
