The tour starts from Piano Provenzana and, on board off-road vehicles, you climb up to an altitude of 2900 meters along a lunar landscape shaped by the 2002 eruption, among black sand, lava flows and breathtaking views. Once you reach the North-East crater, an exciting walk begins among scoria and volcanic bombs, until you reach a spectacular panoramic point.
From here, the panorama opens like a curtain: the imposing Etna stands out against the sky, the valleys of "Leone" and "Bove" can be admired in all their splendor, and Sicily seems to stretch out before your eyes. The highlight? The sunset over Etna, when the sky is tinged with red and gold, and the mountain transforms into one of the most evocative places on the planet.
A unique experience, not only for geology enthusiasts, but for anyone who loves wild nature, the silence of high altitude and the emotions that only an active volcano can give.
