Itinerario Crateri Sommitali
The summit craters of Etna represent the beating heart of the most active volcano in Europe. During our trek, we will reach the maximum altitude allowed, between 3000 and 3400 meters, to walk on unique volcanic terrain and closely observe the active craters. Here the landscape is lunar, dominated by lava flows, fumaroles and intense degassing activities. The energy of the volcano manifests itself in all its strength, giving an authentic and unforgettable experience. From above, the view sweeps across Sicily, up to the Aeolian Islands on the clearest days. An adventure reserved for trekking and mountain lovers, to experience Etna in its purest essence.
