What To Expect

Witness the ever-changing landscape as you ascend Europe's most active volcano, immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. Upon reaching the slopes of Etna, meet your knowledgeable guide who will lead you along the trekking path. Marvel at the fascinating "button shapes" created by the eruption in 1865, where successive cones align like buttons on the volcanic axis. Explore the unique atmosphere surrounded by pyroclastic materials and encounter the rare betula aetnensis, a birch species found only on the north side of Mount Etna in Sicily.If weather permits, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views, stretching from Calabria to Taormina, and on clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of Stromboli Island. After this rewarding trek, indulge in a refreshing lunch featuring delicious Sicilian delicacies, allowing you to replenish your energy. With three courses and beverages, it's the perfect way to reward yourself for the day's trek. Following lunch, you'll have approximately an hour of free time to experience the area at your leisure before returning to Taormina or Giardini Naxos.
