Overview

Do you want to explore one of the most famous volcanoes in the world? In this activity we will follow one of the most beautiful routes that can be done in this natural park.

The walk will allow us to ascend from 1800 to 1970 meters. During the tour we will cross pine forests, see ancient solidified lava flows and enjoy unparalleled views of the Sicilian coast and the Ionian Sea.

As we walk, we will explain how Etna and its caves were formed, and once we have reached the top of the trail, we will admire the Bove valley, an extensive depression more than 8 kilometers long located on the eastern side of Etna.

After admiring the incredible panoramic views that Etna offers, we will begin the descent path. We will walk along the Back of the Donkey, enjoying the landscape of the Bove Valley from another perspective. In addition, we will pass near a large black sand channel and see a volcanic cave.

    What To Expect

    Valle Del Bove

    In this unique and very quiet experience, we walk in the shade of a pine and broom forest, very typical flora species on Etna. At the beginning the path will be uphill, but then you will see a spectacular landscape of Etna, the Bove Valley and the Ionian Sea in front of you. There, when we reach the top of this path, words useless. I will tell you about the history of the volcano and the connections with the city of Catania. Since I travel around Sicily making videos, I have lot of knowledges about Sicily. For this reason I am going to give you all the information you need about your trip to the island.
