About this tour

See theEtna means an experience that goes beyond a simple hike. It is the highest active volcano in Europe and one of the most studied in the world: imposing, alive, constantly changing. Its height varies over time due to eruptions, and it is precisely this dynamic nature of its volcano that makes it so fascinating.

It is not just a mountain, but an internationally recognized place: since 2013 it has been UNESCO World Heritage Site for its extraordinary naturalistic and scientific value. Walking on its slopes, one crosses amazing landscapes: expanses of black lava that seem lunar, smoking craters, lava caves, lush forests and, further down, vineyards overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Etna Morning - Duration 5 hours

So why not book a fantastic guided tour to the top of Etna? The hike takes you up to about 2,000 meters above sea level, where the air becomes cooler and the panorama opens up in all its majesty. The walk up Mount Etna begins at the Sylvester Craters, formed as a result of the 1892 eruption on the southern slope of the volcano. Along the way you will see some striking side craters, spectacular evidence of the eruptions that shaped the Sicilian volcano over time.

The landscape around you is truly breathtaking: towering lava rocks, expanses of solidified lava telling of ancient flows, sand and volcanic ash crunching underfoot. All around, a vegetation amazing and tenacious, like gorse, birch, and pine, growing and enduring strongly in an environment as fascinating as it is extreme.

Accompanying you will be certified nature guides, professional and passionate, who will lead you safely along the trails. With their stories you will discover the geological history of the area, scientific curiosities and traditions related to the volcano, turning the simple hike into a journey full of emotions and knowledge.

Etna Sunset - Duration 2 hours

This experience is ideal for those who want to venture to the summit of Mount Etna in the afternoon, when the sun is about to set on the horizon. Accompanied by a specialized guide, you will discover the most fascinating features of the volcanic landscape: ancient lava flows that have shaped the land, extinct craters with impressive shapes, and striking lava flow caves, evidence of the incredible power of nature. Along the way you can also observe unique vegetation capable of growing on black, mineral-rich soils.

The most exciting moment comes at the sunset: the sky is tinged with shades of gold and pink while, at your feet, a breathtaking panorama of the whole of Sicily opens up. From this height, the contrast between the moonscape of Mount Etna and the blue of the sea creates a truly striking scenario. Again, there is a tasting of typical Sicilian products To be enjoyed in front of a spectacular panorama.
