About this activity

Are you planning a unique and unforgettable day for your students? Then book a fantastic hike in the Vesuvius National Park. This is the ideal activity for children and teenagers of various age groups.

In the company of experienced guides, you will walk along 6 different routes which wind between Vesuvius and Monte Somma and from which you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view. Each path covers a different area of the park and it will be possible to get to know the different botanical varieties and many species of animals that populate this fascinating area.

In addition, children will be able to appreciate the different lava formations bearing witness to the eruptions that have characterized Vesuvius over the millennia. So let's see in detail what paths are passable for this educational experience.

Tirone Alto Vesuvio Forest Reserve - Trail No. 4

Questo sentiero attraversa il Broom Plan ed è una delle aree meglio tutelate del Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio. Il tragitto si muove lungo uno stradello per lo più pianeggiante ed è dunque ideale per i liceali e anche per i bambini d’infanzia, delle elementari e delle scuole medie. Il territorio è per gran parte boschivo e si potranno vedere lava flows e formazioni vulcaniche. Qui si potrà conoscere la storia del complesso Somma-Vesuvio e la sua biodiversità. Il percorso offre due opzioni: un percorso breve e uno lungo. Il percorso breve copre 3 km, con una durata di circa 2 ore e un dislivello di 80 metri. Il percorso lungo si estende per 5 km, con una durata simile di circa 2 ore e lo stesso dislivello di 80 metri.

Lava River - Trail No. 9

The path at an altitude of 550 meters is short and alternates flat sections with downhill sections through mixed woods with chestnut trees, acacias, black hornbeams and different species of oak. In the end we will reach a spectacular one lava flow which was formed during the last Vesuvian eruption in 1944. On these pyroclastic deposits you will see colored patches of vegetation, among which the Stereocaulon vesuvianum, the brooms, la valeriana e il rumex scudatum. Da questo punto si potrà poi ammirare un suggestivo panorama sul Golfo di Napoli. Il percorso di 1,5 km dura circa 2 ore con dislivello di 50 metri ed è perfetto per i bambini delle elementari e i ragazzi di medie e superiori.

Great Cone of Vesuvius – Path n. 5

This route starts at an altitude of 1,000 meters and is therefore more challenging than others. In fact, it is especially suitable for fifth grade children and middle and high school children. The path allows you to reach the edge of the crater of Vesuvius e si inerpica lungo una serie di tornanti panoramici da cui si gode un’ottima vista su Monte Somma e Valle del Gigante. Durante la salita le guide turistiche racconteranno le caratteristiche geologiche e naturalistiche del paesaggio e si potranno vedere tante specie animali e vegetali. Il percorso offre due opzioni: il percorso turistico di 3 km, durata di circa 2 ore, con un dislivello di 150 metri e il percorso completo di 6 km, circa 3 ore, con un dislivello di 170 metri Il sentiero avrà una lunghezza di 4 km, un dislivello di 170 metri e una durata di 3 ore.

Cratere Side Walk – Sentiero n. 1 e n. 6

With this excursion between paths n. 1 and no. 6 you can reach the Octavian Square at an altitude of 1,050 meters along the eastern slope of the crater of Vesuvius which offers a suggestive view of the Valle dell'Inferno and Monte Somma. The route allows you to walk on the slopes of the Gran Cono in an area where observation is favorable and without particular differences in height. The guides will explain to the students the geological and naturalistic history of the place and the main ones will be observed native species di flora e fauna. La passeggiata di 3 km ha una durata di circa 2 ore e un dislivello di 90 metri. In generale è indicata per gli scolari della terza, quarta e quinta elementare e delle scuole medie e superiori. È possibile estendere l’itinerario continuando con l’ascesa al bordo craterico dal versante orientale, previo acquisto dei biglietti online (sentiero n.5). Questa opzione è particolarmente indicata per gli studenti della scuola secondaria di secondo grado.

The Valley of Hell – Path no. 1

This route begins at an altitude of 965 meters and descends into the caldera of Mount Somma for a couple of kilometers. Due to its conformation it is the ideal choice to note in detail the typical geological structure of the Somma-Vesuvius complex. In fact, the Valle dell'Inferno divides Monte Somma from the nearby volcano and is dotted with lava flows from the eruptions of the twentieth century. Halfway along the path there are the Cognoli di Levante, where you can see the "rope lava" dating back to the 1929 eruption. The route with a difference in altitude of 180 meters is 4 km long and will take around 3 hours to cover. It is especially recommended for lower and upper secondary school children.

Terzigno pine forest – Path n. 11

The trail at 250 meters is mostly flat and it has been structured to be traveled even by people with motor or visual difficulties. The most modern engineering techniques and natural materials were used for its construction. The walkway includes a wooden platform che si snoda attraverso un’area formata da strati di lava recente, sui quali è stata piantata una pineta. Il tracciato in legno disegna curve e cambi di direzione ed offre dei pittoreschi scorci sul versante occidentale del Vesuvio. Questa esperienza è indicata per i bambini di scuole di ogni ordine e grado, dall’infanzia alle superiori e per bambini con disabilità motorie. Il percorso è di appena 2 km e per coprirlo ci vorranno un paio di ore con 10 metri di dislivello
