    Tips

    Hiking

    Before the start of the tour necessarily inform about the weather conditions. Between autumn and spring the weather can change quickly at these altitudes. Strong wind, rain and snow make walking on the ridges extremely dangerous. Check the weather forecast before you start the tour. Strong winds, heavy rain or snow are very dangerous on this trail.

    Apex of the donkey's back easily reachable in about an hour from the homonymous entrance to the forest. Unique views of the valley and the crater, even more so during the eruptive phase.

    Famous valley of Etna that collects all the eruptions of the volcano. Beautiful view from the donkey's back path.
