Travel along the panoramic road on the north side of Mount Etna in special 4x4 vehicles (fee not included, to be paid on-site), passing ancient craters and recent lava flows up to an altitude of 2960 metres. You'll then ascend 3km on foot along a path made up of volcanic bombs and slag. You'll cover an uphill elevation gain of about 330 metres, bringing you to Etna's Central Crater at an altitude of 3300 metres. During the climb, you will take breaks for explanations and refreshments.
At the summit, admire the majestic volcanic environment and the spectacular view from the roof of Sicily (visibility may vary depending on weather or volcanic conditions). The 2km descent will take place along the same route taken uphill, only the last stretch will be inside small channels made up of soft and friable volcanic slag, on which it is possible to walk easily by adopting the necessary precautions. Once back at 2825 metres, the 4x4 vehicles will take you to Piano Provenzana.
