Highlights

Embark on a unique life experience with the climb to the Summit Craters on the North Side of Etna. Begin in Piano Provenzana with a safety briefing before ascending to an altitude of 2950 m using special 4X4 vehicles. Capture the breathtaking landscape before trekking through ancient and recent lava fields to reach the edge of the Summit Craters at 3330 m.

Continue the climb across the entire Summit area, admiring the craters of the North-East, the South-East, the Bocca Nuova, and the Voragine. The trek around the summit area offers an ever-changing view, influenced by recent volcanic activity. Descend through volcanic sands to reach Piano delle Concazze, where the Valle del Leone and the famous Valle del Bove provide a unique and unforgettable panorama.

Experience one of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders in the world, with a guided cable-car, coach, and trek to the summit of Mount Etna
Marvel at the remarkable terrain of Etna's volcanic mountainside, where lava flows have scorched the earth and left behind a moonscape
Creep along the outer edge of the volcano's yawning crater, and enjoy the adrenaline of standing on the brim of Europe's largest active volcano
