Overview

The tour starts with a morning pickup at one of two meeting points: Piazza Stesicoro 32 in Catania at 8:30 AM or Piazza S. Alfio in Trecastagni at 9:15 AM. Participants travel by vehicle toward Mount Etna, stopping in a village for a coffee break and to purchase food for lunch. The vehicle then ascends to about 2,000 meters above sea level, where the adventurous hiking tour begins. The hike lasts approximately three hours on less-traveled paths through the Valle del Bove, the largest caldera on Mount Etna, characterized by its desert-like terrain. Along the route, hikers see views of the summit craters and the surrounding landscape facing the Ionian Sea. A local volcanological guide leads the group and provides all necessary equipment, including shoes, trekking poles, helmets, and wind stoppers. The total duration of the tour is about six and a half hours and includes insurance as well as pickup and drop-off in Catania. Food and drinks are not included. The tour operates all year round. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The itinerary may change due to weather conditions or volcanic access restrictions. This tour is not suitable for elderly people who are not accustomed to mountain walking.
