Highlights
A Suggestive Start
The adventure begins in the heart of Etna, with a flexible meeting point or a comfortable pick-up from your hotel. An hour before sunset, we begin the trek to discover the wonders of the volcano in daylight. We pass through surprising and constantly changing landscapes: centuries-old forests, recent lava flows and expanses of very fine ash. Each step reveals a new face of the largest active volcano in Europe, offering a unique experience that enchants the senses.
The Majestic Valle del Bove
As evening falls, Etna comes alive with a primordial energy. From our panoramic point, we sit down to admire explosions, lava fountains and the roar of the earth, immersed in a scenario that has been repeated for millennia. We sip wine, take photos or simply let ourselves be enchanted by one of nature’s most majestic phenomena, in an intimate and unforgettable atmosphere.

Wir haben eine wunderschöne Wanderung erlebt. Sebastiano ist ein toller Guide, der für den Ätna “brennt” und zusätzlich zu dieser Begeisterung fundiertes Wissen über die Natur und den Vulkan mitbringt. Toller Service, dass EtnaWay auch noch Ausrüstung (in unserem Fall die vergessenen Wanderschuhe) bereitstellt. Alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert!!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Tour mit Christiano! Er hat super viel gewusst und keine Möglichkeit ausgelassen uns mehr über Aetna, seine Entwicklung und auch die Geschichte drumherum zu erzählen! Wir waren mit 2 Kindern (4 und 8 Jahre) unterwegs, war super!! Wanderschuhe sind besser als Sportschuhe 😉 Sehr empfehlenswert.

Hiking in Etna was an incredible experience. Gianpaolo is very easy going and a great guide who knows a lot about Etna. Not only did he taught us a lot about vulcanos, but also how Etna has shaped the Sicilian culture.
Our group got a bit of a cloudy day, but has Gianpaolo kept telling us, Etna is never boring! And as the clouds moved, we did get to see great views.
It was a great hike (we also got to visit a lava tunnel), and I learned a lot more than I was expecting!

We took the top craters hiking tour. It was a high quality hiking experience. Organized very well, in an enjoyable and safe way. Christian, the guide, was super friendly, speaking English, German and Italian. Truly unforgettable experience.
