What To Expect

This Etna off-road tour is a semi-private experience to explore the northern slopes of Mt Etna with a volcanological guide by 4WD bus. The highest active volcano in Europe offers you incomparable views of the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, as well as the possibility of looking -from a very close and safe location- the central active craters of the volcano. Enjoy the experience of walking on ancient lava flows and discover the always-changing landscape of a living volcano.
Starting from the tourist station of Piano Provenzana, located at about 1800 mt above sea level, we are going to drive – with our Etna off-road bus authorized by the Etna Park Authority – in the middle of ancient lava flows, also admiring ancient extinct craters, to arrive at the Volcanological Observatory that was built in 1977 at about 2850 mt above sea level. From here you are going to start a 15-minute hike that will take you to the end of the promontory of Pizzi Deneri, embracing a wide view of the Sicilian coast. You are also going to admire from a very short distance and safely the central volcanic cone where the main craters are.
On the way back, we are going to stop at 1.900 mt to explore the area.
