Enjoy a fun excursion to Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe and a UNESCO site since 2013. Leave with your tour guide on board a comfortable coach and reach Rifugio Sapienza at 1.900 meters on the south side of the volcano. After a technical stop, ascent by cable car up to 2,500 meters and continuing on board jeeps up to the authorized crater zones at approximately 2,900 meters with the assistance of licensed Guides of the CAI (Italian Alpine Club) who will escort you for a soft trekking. Stop to admire the eventual activity of the summit craters in a safety zone according to weather conditions. Warm clothing and suitable shoes are recommended and can be rented on site. The ascents to Etna’s authorized crater areas are always escorted by guides of the Italian Alpine Club, who are responsible for the safety of the travellers and are subordinated to the decisions of the relevant authorities in relation to the changes of volcanic activity that affect the altitude reached.
