What to expect

Climb up to an altitude of 3.000m and enjoy incredible panoramic views near the summit craters of Etna on this 5-hour hike! This trek of great volcanological and geological interest is a valid alternative to the Summit Craters.

After the meeting at Rifugio Sapienza, with the cable car, you'll reach an altitude of 2,500 meters and start your trekking of about 2 hours uphill and 2 hours downhill. You'll visit a lava flow channel, ancient and recent lava flows to the base of the most active crater at the moment, the Southeast Crater but also the Cratere Centrale.
