Cross a lunar landscape made of lava and coloured minerals, listen to the breath of the volcano and savour the taste of Etna. This fascinating excursion will take you to discover the North-East Crater, the Voragine Crater and the Bocca Nuova Crater.

Starting from Piano Provenzana on the northern slope, passing through the summit craters, you arrive at Rifugio Sapienza on the southern slope, accompanied by certified volcanological guides.

Descend from Etna’s summit area, visit the Barbagallo Craters (2002/03 eruption) and a lava flow channel — the excursion skirts the edge of the Valle del Bove all the way to the cable car station.

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.
