Etna Experience organizes Etna tour, excursions, full and half day trips to enjoy the best visit, trekking and guided tours to Mount Etna Volcano
One of Etna Experience’s expert naturalistic guides will pick you up at 9:00 a.m. from your hotel in Catania or from an agreed meeting point, to take you aboard one of our 8-seater vehicles (jeep or minivan).
You will then reach a scenic spot that overlooks the Bove Valley, the last eruptions main scenario, where it will also be possible to enjoy an amazing view on the Summit Craters.
You will visit a volcanic cave using the equipment provided by us (helmets and torches). In case of heavy snow and/or ice the visit may be cancelled for safety reasons. In case the cave should not be accessible, because of ice and snow, the guide might suggest you an extra trekking on a different trail, or a visit to the area of Zafferana Etnea to taste local products of the volcano.
At lunch we will gather in a typical Etna Rifugio or in a warm winery with delicious etna wine. There we will enjoy a typical Sicilian lunch with local products (starter and first course) together with Sicilian Etna wine. It is possible to arrange, upon request, a suitable dish to vegetarians, vegan and coeliacs.
After lunch you’ll visit the famous Alcantara Gorges, formed thousands of years ago thanks to a lava flow that invaded the bed of the Alcantara river. Our expert guide will lead you in particular glimpses of the canyon that are accessible even in winter thanks to a special agreement between the park and etna experience.
* In case the trails are covered by a thick layer of snow because of the Etna different climate, usually around the month of January (but sometimes also in February or even March), part of the Mt Etna Winter Tour will take place using snowshoes (provided by us) and sticks. We wish to remind you that in this case the hike becomes normally more tiring.
From November 1st to March 31st:
• € 75 for adults;
• € 65 for students up to 24 years;
• € 60 for children from 0 to 12 years.
