vulkanen Etna: South Side guidet topvandring
Beskrivelse
Hver udflugt udføres i overensstemmelse med vulkanske risikoniveauer. Efter at have mødt og afgået fra Piazzale Rifugio Sapienza (Etna Sud), når du med svævebane og 4x4 jeep en højde af 2.800 meter, og herfra, efter cirka 2 timers vandring gennem lavastrømme og månelignende omgivelser, når du til Etnas topkratere. Her vil vi vandre på den spektakulære rand af Centralkrateret, tackle det svimlende nordøstkrater og se det berømte sydøstkrater, der er årsag til de seneste og mest imponerende udbrud. Udover de enorme kratere på toppen vil du beundre et unikt vulkansk miljø med gasudledninger, vulkanbomber og jordens funklende farver takket være sublimeringen af forskellige elementer, herunder især svovl. Under nedstigningen besøger vi Barbagallo-kratrene og krydser en lavakanal. Endnu engang ved 2500 m med Etna-svævebanen vender vi tilbage til udgangspunktet.

Wow, what an unforgettable life experience! Pepe was a fantastic guide, happy to share his ever changing knowledge of the region. The hike was challenging but comfortable. Reaching the rim was an unforgettable experience, breathtakingly beautiful, adrenaline was pumping as it was very windy but at all times I felt safe. Thankyou for such a rewarding day!
We were fortunate to be accompanied by Antonio and Massimo, two passionate guides who know how to convey their knowledge clearly and very interestingly! They were very kind and helped those who had more difficulties during the walk, always with a smile. It is important to wear good high and closed shoes! Etna is a very beautiful and unique excursion that is worth experiencing! We could not go to the summit due to a strong volcanic eruption, but our guides adapted the visit to allow us to see as much as possible; we still went up to 3000m. A small downside regarding the price of the mandatory 4x4 transport, which was excessive for us, but this does not detract from the beauty of the visit 😊
An annoying start that ended very well. Booked with Viator in January to do a south summit hike on 21 June and booked accommodation nearby. The day before the hike we received an message from the tour operator to say the south summit tour was not possible and we should get to meeting point at 8am on the North side for 8 am which was an hour and 15 mins away. We got up very early to be there on time. However on speaking to the guide on arrival and although we were the first to arrive the group already had 10 people so we had to join another group with a different company which wasn’t leaving until later! However this turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Not only was the North side less touristy and pristine, but we also got to ride in a very cool 4x4 bus accompanied by a great guide Vincenzo from AITNE who took us on the hike up to two craters. He was very knowledgeable and we felt very safe. We are used to hiking in mountains so this was not hugely challenging for us but it’s soft underfoot, like walking up a sand dune in places and some parts were quite steep and the air is thinner. It was great they provided good quality comfortable hiking boots and poles. Be warned, you need a reasonable level of fitness to do the hike. An inexperienced couple half our age were struggling and were encouraged thankfully to turn back, which they eventually did, with another guide. so the rest of us could do the full tour at a comfortable pace.
Everything was taken care of in the smallest details🤩 Giovanni was an excellent guide who conveyed his passion for Etna and trekking, ranging from technical information to local curiosities. The second excursion at dawn over the Valley of Bove was something magical!
A wonderful experience! I recommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Mother Etna!
Our guide Giacomo did a fantastic job to get us to the summit craters and back.
Amazing experience, really well organised and the guides were really knowledgeable and passionate about the volcano and the underlying geology, highly recommended
We arrived at the top of the central crater with the guide Massimo Floccavento, who in addition to being a professional in his work is a true mountain enthusiast and is an advantage for those like us, makes experiences with him. Very courteous and helpful also the other guys, including Mary who by phone explained everything we would do and what it would take to go to altitude, even warning us about the risks. Ashàra you are top!
Very nice hike not too physical also done over 3 hours, you must absolutely see Etna during your stay in Sicily! We were super well accompanied by Simone, Italian guide with impeccable French, who explained all the subtleties of the volcano, a big thank you to him. It is definitely worth taking a guide, for safety first but also for a little context on the place, thank you for this great experience 🌞
An incredible, extraordinary experience with Tour Guide Antonio
