Itinerary

With the Etna Cableway we will quickly gain altitude up to 2500m s.l.m. and then with special Pulmini, we will climb further up to 2900m s.l.m., near Torre del Filosofo. During the 2 hour ascent we will take 2-3 intermediate breaks to enjoy the view. We will walk through the lava fields with a lunar aspect that will lead us under the summit craters. With a final demanding climb we will reach the summit of Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe where we could admire the peculiarities that characterize the summit area. We will walk back to the upper cable car station in about 2 hours.

The ticket for the transport of the cable car and the 4x4 bus up to 2900 meters above sea level is not included in the cost of the excursion but must be paid locally, at a cost of 50.00 euros.

At the discretion of the guide and for safety reasons, given the continuous and unpredictable evolution of the volcanic activity, the excursions could undergo variations and, above all, could be modified according to the weather conditions and volcanic activity.
