Etna, Crateri Sommitali
Descrizione
Un trekking che ci permette di salire in cima al Vulcano attivo più alto d’Europa e di ascoltare il respiro di una montagna viva. La salita si effettua in funivia e pulmini 4×4 fino a quota 2900m nella zona di Torre del Filosofo, da qui dopo circa 1,5h di cammino in salita si arriva sull’orlo del Cratere centrale dal quale si osserva la Bocca Nuova (3250m), apertasi nel 1968, probabilmente il cratere più impressionante. The itinerary could change due to the activity of the volcano or weather conditions

Itinerario
La salita si effettua in funivia e pulmini 4×4 fino a quota 2900m nella zona di Torre del Filosofo, da qui dopo circa 1,5h di cammino in salita si arriva sull’orlo del Cratere centrale dal quale si osserva la Bocca Nuova(3250m), apertasi nel 1968, probabilmente il cratere più impressionante. Aggirando la Bocca Nuova ci si ritrova sull’orlo della Voragine, il cuore del Cratere Centrale e da qui salendo in ripida ma breve salita per il Cratere di Nord Est, formatosi nel 1911 e vera e propria cima dell’Etna (3329m). Dalla cima possiamo spaziare a 360° con lo sguardo, e se la giornata lo permette scorgere verso nord le isole Eolie. Dalla cima iniziamo la discesa lungo, ripido ma facile pendio di ceneri e scorie passando per l’anfiteatro vulcanico della Valle del Bove, una spettacolare caldera di 8km di lunghezza e 4km di larghezza, fino a ritornare alla stazione di arrivo della funivia a quota 2500mt.

A great family experience with teenagers
It was incredible! An experience of a lifetime
Due to the situation of Mount Etna, we could not do the full tour, but the experience was impressive. The guide Simone did a splendid job and explained everything wonderfully to us. Highly recommended.
A brilliant guide, Giuseppe, a volcanology enthusiast who helped us discover the volcano in an incredible way through his experience.
The whole trip was amazing, our guide Vincenzo made this experience very interesting and took us to better places then the rest of the groups, definitely recommend
Wonderful and unique experience, very well-prepared guide and very attentive to the group's safety
If they change the itinerary due to the activity level on the volcano maybe rethink this tour. We were given the option to take the cable car up and walk down but it was not explained that we would be walking in moving volcanic gravel at a steep decline. If give the more details about the decent or given the option to take the cable car down since we were made to pay for a round trip ticket but only use it one way, we may have made a different choice. They did offer to let us cancel and maybe we should have done that.
Magnificent excursion! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. Our guide Simone delighted us with her explanations, professionalism, and kindness... we highly recommend her!!!!!
I had a great experience on the Mount Etna tour, thanks to our guide, Vincenzo. He was attentive, supportive, and clearly passionate about what he does. Since we weren’t very experienced with hiking, he regularly checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay, which we really appreciated. He also encouraged us to push a bit further to reach the crater, and I’m glad we did. Even though we were able to see just one crater, it was absolutely worth it. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour, especially with such a thoughtful guide.
Incredible experience with Vicenzo, who provided very interesting volcanological information throughout the hike in excellent French. The chosen itinerary allowed us to arrive directly at the edge of the crater and to be surprised by overlooking it. This will remain an unforgettable moment.
