Overview

Meet your naturalist guide in Catania and travel to the north side of Mount Etna.
Once you reach Piano Provenzana (the less touristy side), board a special 4x4 vehicle for the ascent to the summit area (2950 meters). From there, enjoy a moderate hike accompanied by your naturalist guide and a licensed volcanological guide, who is required for excursions at this altitude.
Please note that the 4x4 ascent fee (€70 per person) is not included in the tour price and must be paid directly to your guide on the day of the tour.
Continue your experience by exploring one of Mount Etna's fascinating volcanic caves. Helmets and headlamps will be provided.
At lunchtime, relax at a local winery on the slopes of Mount Etna and enjoy a light lunch featuring traditional Sicilian specialties, accompanied by a tasting of two Etna DOC wines.
Winter itinerary (January–March): due to the snow, the access to the area may require a snowcat (30€ per person extra).

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
