Etna Tribe
Meeting point at 10:00 AM at 1,900 meters above sea level.
Experience an intense adventure on the volcano with this high-altitude Etna crater tour, designed for those who want to explore the upper slopes of Mount Etna in total safety. This guided trek is led by certified volcanological guides and follows an authorized hiking route, allowing you to reach approximately Mount Etna summit 3000 m under expert supervision.
After a short briefing with your volcanological guide, you will take the cable car up to 2,500 meters, the starting point of your Etna crater walking tour.
From here, the hike begins toward the crater formed during the 2002/2003 eruption, crossing a striking lunar-like landscape characterized by volcanic sand and solidified lava flows. This section of the Etna crater tour offers a fascinating insight into the volcano’s recent geological history.
You will then continue toward the base of the Barbagallo Craters (around 2,800 meters), a privileged panoramic viewpoint from which you can admire Taormina, Siracusa, and the summit craters, often marked by visible gas and steam emissions.
The route proceeds toward more recent lava flows until reaching approximately 3,000 meters near the famous Torre del Filosofo area, close to the Mount Etna summit, where a short break is scheduled.
This trekking experience up to 3,000 meters is ideal for those who wish to discover the power and beauty of Europe’s highest active volcano, walking through a unique and constantly evolving natural environment.
