Trekking to the summit craters that will allow us to discover the wild north side of Etna. Departure will be from Piano Provenzana (1800mt) by 4×4 vehicle to Piano delle Concazza (2800mt). From here we will begin our trekking, which will take about 1.5 hours of walking in a volcanic desert with a view sweeping from the Aeolian Islands to the Gulf of Taormina, and will take us to the rim of the Central Crater, where we will be able to feel the volcano’s breath and admire the deep crater depression and its colourful sulphur sublimates. Our tour will continue to the summit area to admire the Bocca Nuova, the South-East crater from a safe distance, and the North-East crater.
The descent will be along steep, fun volcanic sand gullies that will take us to Pizzi Deneri where we can admire the volcanic amphitheatre of Valle del Bove, a spectacular caldera 8 km long and 4 km wide.
The end of the descent will always take place on board the 4×4 vehicles that will take us back to Piano Provenzana.
