Called by the Greek poet Pindar ‘Column of Heaven’, Mount Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe and one of the most important volcanos on the earth in terms of productivity and frequency of eruption.

Located on Sicily’s east coast between the two rivers Alcantara and Simeto, the impressive bulk overlooks the whole province of Catania and is visible on clear days from all over Sicily and parts of Calabria. The volcano influences considerably the colors of the crops, the building materials and the color of the ground. Nominated as the UNESCO world heritage site it is a beautiful natural oasis. In winter when its peak is covered by snow, it is also very popular as a winter sport resort.  

Itinerary:

Departure from your accommodation at around 7:00 am. We will drive up the south side of the volcano to an altitude of about 1,900 meters where you have the possibility to take the cable car. In just 15 minutes, you will reach a higher attitude of 2,504 meters. In the second part of the excursion, you will go up another 581 meters to an altitude of 2,900 meters. This service (extra cost) is carried out with special off-road vehicles led by professional drivers who travel the steepest paths with absolute security reaching the 2,900 meters above sea level in 20 minutes. Once there, enjoy an amazing view over the sea and admire the impressive crater.
