On this tour we see directly the power of the volcano, which in 2001 and 2002 has rammed up 3 huge craters from a plain. We hike through this lunar landscape, climb some (still hot) lateral craters and visit the Valle del Bove<\/a>; in the afternoon we discover a fascinating underground lava tunnel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MEETING POINT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We meet in front of the Monte Gebel restaurant at the valley station of the cable car. Here we are already at 1900 m altitude in the UNESCO protected area “Etna Park”. To get to know each other, we have breakfast together with the guide and take a snack for the lunch break.<\/p>\n

Our guide will now also give you the equipment if you don’t bring everything yourself: trekking poles, windbreakers, backpacks, helmets, lamps and hiking boots (please let us know the size when booking).<\/p>\n

Together we take the cable car to 2500 m altitude, where the trekking starts.<\/p>\n

TREKKING – CRATER – VALLE DEL BOVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we leave the top station of the cable car, we see the summit craters towering in front of us. Accompanied by our experienced English-speaking guide, we visit the craters of the eruptions of 1762 (Montagnola), 1792 (Cisternazza) and 2001 (Laghetto – Escriv\u00e0). We walk on solidified lava flows towards the valley “Valle del Bove” and discover lava fields, craters and lava flows of different ages and colours, sometimes the soils are rough and irregular, sometimes soft and sandy.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the viewpoint of the Valle del Bove (Ox Valley), we stand right on the edge of this huge indentation on the eastern side of Mount Etna, with a steep drop of up to 1000 metres in front of us and the summit craters towering behind us.<\/p>\n

LUNCH BREAK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We reach the lateral crater Laghetto, formed in about a month during the 2001 eruption.<\/p>\n

We sit down at a cosy spot and take our lunch break, but beware: the ground is still hot here, so don’t burn yourself!<\/p>\n

DEPARTURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We start the descent on hard volcanic rock and through soft volcanic sand, on which we walk down as if on powder snow. Between 2000 and 3000 m altitude we see the few plants that can withstand the extreme climatic conditions, both in summer and winter, the drought and the strong wind, such as Etna’s amphora (Rumex aetnensis)<\/em>, Saponaria dell’Etna (Etna’s soapwort) or Etna’s chamomile (Anthemis aetnensis)<\/em>. Our guide can also tell you a lot of interesting facts about the flora and fauna of Etna.<\/p>\n

TASTING OF HONEYS, CREAMS AND LIQUEURS OF ETNA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Back at the cable car we can taste the sweetest specialities of Etna for free: Honey, also called the gold of Etna; creams made from pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, Modica chocolate and of course liqueurs such as: the fire of Etna, pistachio, almond, hazelnut, tangerine, melon liqueurs, etc.<\/p>\n

LAVA TUNNEL – GROTTA DEI TRE LIVELLI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After arriving back at 1900 metres above sea level, we want to discover what is hidden beneath the hard crust of lava. We drive a short distance by car to the Grotta dei Tre Livelli (Cave of the Three Levels): we see a hole in the ground in front of us and descend into one of the 190 or so lava tunnels on Etna, created by the flow of hot lava. Equipped with helmets and lamps, we begin the underground adventure to discover the most hidden secrets of “a muntagna”, as the Sicilians call Etna.<\/p>\n

RETURN – UNTIL THE NEXT ADVENTURE!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After exploring Etna inside and out, we have reached the end of our day together.
Until the next adventure!<\/p>\n
