Your day starts at Piano Provenzana, on the volcano's quiet northern slope. A powerful 4x4 vehicle climbs more than 1,100 m of altitude, from 1,800 m to the volcanic plateau of Piano delle Concazze at 2,900 m, through terrain shaped by centuries of eruptions.
From there the trek begins: a rugged trail that gains about 400 m of altitude in roughly 2 hours of hiking. At the summit craters you stand beside vivid yellow and white sulfur deposits, columns of volcanic smoke rising from the crater rims, and vast fields of hardened lava. It is the highest point on Etna open to visitors — and the reason this is our most requested tour.
