Mount Etna hiking and discovering the highest active volcano in Europe
8 days
About this Tour
A incredible journey around the highest active volcano in Europe that allows us to come into close contact with "a Muntagna", as the Sicilians call it, and to discover all the environments that characterize this territory from the lowest altitudes to the summit. With beautiful excursions on foot we enter wild areas with centuries-old chestnut and beech woods suddenly interrupted by deserts of lava and black sand, we reach colored volcanic cones and enter in amazing lava flow caves. The climb to the summit craters is the highlight of this extraordinary journey, where we enjoy the volcanic environment, amazing and in continuous and surprising evolution, and the panorama that dominates Sicily and the Mediterranean sea. Etna is a huge volcano and geologically rich in different environments generated at different times in its history: it will be interesting and spectacular to discover it, told with passion by our geologist. At the same time, let's get to know the culture born at the foot of this mountain, rich in traditions, flavours (the list of "food and wine" typical products of Etna is rich and captivating) and history.
