    Since the road surface is sometimes very bumpy, if possible choose this route for the driveway, the road is much better in the direction of Nicolosi (09/2017)

    Beautiful hairpin bend descent through the lava field up to Zafferana Etnea. The road surface is unfortunately not so good.

    From the parking lot in the lava field below the tree line you have a beautiful view over the old wooded craters to the top of Etna, see 2 photos
