Itinerary
Etna, in addition to being one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is certainly also one of the most fascinating. Inevitable it is the subject of numerous stories and curiosities. Its geographical position in the center of the Mediterranean Sea, with the sea just a short distance away, creates ideal conditions for developing an incredible diversity of landscapes. Anyone who imagines the volcano as a wasteland consisting only of bare and raw volcanic rock is wrong. The Etnean territory extends from sea level up to 3329 meters, an absolutely variable altitude based on the eruptive activities! This great altitudinal difference in a relatively small space has created a unique ecosystem, within which man for millennia has learned to live together in very particular conditions, always defining it with multiple names, among which A 'prevails in the local meaning. Muntagna.
Based on favorable weather conditions, the itinerary for the Etna Trekking excursion often includes a visit to the Valle del Bove, a magnificent natural amphitheater created by the collapse of multiple volcanic structures of the past. Here the panorama is surreal.
Tasting all'agricoltour MontataGrande with tasting of Etna and Sicilian specialties (wine, liqueurs, oil, honey from Zafferana, sweet creams, salty pesto, pistachio from Bronte, etc).
