Activity itinerary

Mount Etna
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Our adventure begins with a leisurely walk amidst a variety of endemic flora, from iconic towering trees to unique botanical wonders like the Astragalus Siculus, exclusive to Etna. As we traverse the trail, a vista of numerous adventitious craters adorning the volcano's slopes unfolds, offering breathtaking panoramas encompassing the entire city of Catania and the historic craters nestled amidst inhabited areas. With favourable weather conditions, the coastline stretching towards the province of Syracuse might grace us with its presence.
Valle Del Bove
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Continuing our trek, we encounter winding streams, locally known as "Sciambro," meandering through the terrain, fed by snowmelt or torrential downpours. Our path leads us to a viewpoint overlooking the Valle del Bove, an ancient volcanic caldera dating back approximately 10,000 years, spanning over 6 kilometres in length and 4.5 kilometres in width. Here, the sight is nothing short of awe-inspiring, with panoramic views extending from the summit craters to the southeast crater, Calabria, Giardini Naxos, Taormina, Catania, the port of Catania, and the vast Ionian Sea.
Mount Etna
  • 1h
After a refreshing break where we indulge in snacks and enjoy the panoramic splendour, we continue along the ridge of the valley, marvelling at the various basaltic dykes nearby. Returning via an alternative route, we delve into the heart of Mount Etna's geological wonders, encountering the iconic juniper plant, essential for the aroma of Etna's Gin, among other marvels.

Mount Etna

Continuing our journey, we will explore the magnificent Pitagora Cave, named so for its entrance resembling a right-angled triangle, reminiscent of the famous Pythagorean theorem. This unique geological formation holds secrets waiting to be unveiled, and we'll discuss them during the excursion!
