Starting from the centre of Catania one of Etna Experience’s expert guides will lead you to discover the fascinating volcanic phenomena, walking through ancient woods, on eccentric craters and unique lava formations. During the the trekking route you will be able to admire from various points, the summit craters standing in the distance.

You will visit a volcanic cave using the equipment provided from us (helmets and torches).You will stop at a farmhouse, you will enjoy a rustic lunch made with local products (starter and first course) together with a good glass of Sicilian wine. It is possible to arrange, upon request, a suitable dish to vegetarians and celiac. After lunch, walking through brooms, chamomile and silver birches, you will visit unique lava formations and eccentric craters, usually on the North-East side of Etna.

The guide will pick you up at your hotel (if in the centre of Catania) or in a meeting point halfway. The tour is in Italian and English.

• • In case the trails are covered by a thick layer of snow, usually around the month of January (but sometimes also in February or even March), part of the excursion will take place using snowshoes and sticks. We wish to remind you that in this case the hike becomes normally more tiring.
