Piano Provenzana

When you arrive at Piano Provenzana, at an altitude of 1900 m, you can decide whether to stop and trek alone or decide to continue the ascent of the volcano via jeep (ticket not included). In this case you can reach an altitude of 2,840 meters by traveling with off-road vehicles along a high mountain path, created among suggestive expanses of lava and volcanic sand along the fracture that opened during the 2002 eruption, accompanied by Alpine/Volcanological Guides.You will reach the Pizzi Deneri volcanological observatory. From this point the climb begins on foot along a path surrounded by volcanic waste and bombs. The total climb is 300 meters until reaching a panoramic point at 2,900 meters altitude, the maximum altitude allowed by the competent authorities in the summit area. In good weather, it is possible to see both the Leone and Bove valleys, as well as the majesty of the North-East and South-East craters.
