1st stop: a pleasant hike from the viewpoint on Bove Valley in front of the Summit Craters, which is the main scene of recent lava eruptions.* You will be captivated by our nature guides who tell the mysterious and fascinating stories of the Volcano. *in the case that the trek takes place somewhere else, you will get to the viewpoint on Bove Valley by off-roading.
2nd stop: well have you visit the impressive tunnels inside of a cave that has been grooved out by flowing lava. Helmets and flashlights are provided.
3rd stop: a break for a pic-nic with typical, regional flavours.
4th stop: hike around “Monti Sartorius” (outlying craters), surrounded by glades rich in native plants, flowers and trees, like White Birches.
5th stop:we stop at the Alcantara Gorges whose high walls of unrepeatable geometric perfection were created once the lava flow that flooded the frozen river (of the same name) cooled down.
Due to the low temperature of the river, we advise you to bathe in or walk through it only in the summer season.
*In some cases (i.e. bad weather conditions) certain activities will be replaced by stopping to taste Etna’s wine, honey and olive oil in the spots where they are produced.
