Excursion Etna 3.000 mt
A valid alternative to the summit craters is the 3,000 m Etna excursion. You go up by cable car up to 2,500 meters, then by Jeep up to 2750 m. From here begins the path on foot. It will be possible to observe the summit craters, then we will stop on a lateral crater (barbagallo at about 3000 meters). You will admire the recent lava flows (21/05/2023) until you reach the inside of a lava channel. We will visit an effusive vent (2002 eruption) and from here we will descend along the sandbanks to the mound from where we will observe the Bove Valley, admiring, on fine days, a view that sweeps from the Ionian Riviera to the interior of Sicily. Duration 4/5 hours.
Departures at 9.30 and 10.30 (the departure at 10.30 is compatible for those arriving by bus (AST) from Catania).
