    Hiking

    Le Balcon de Dolomieu is located at an altitude of 2,632 metres. This point dominates the crater of Dolomieu which was formed in 1791 before collapsing several hundred meters in 2007.

    This exceptional point of view on the crater is accessible by following the white marking points from the Pas de Bellecombe.

    Hiking

    A highlight with two great views, first on the volcanic crater and then down to the glittering sea water.

    Hiking

    Arriving by car is worth seeing and adventure enough for bad drivers. It took us 2 hours from the parking lot to the top and we weren't even the fastest. Even if it's 30 degrees by the sea, up here it goes down to 5 degrees. Overall, very worthwhile, but the view into the crater was disappointing. Everything is very peaceful. At Etna you can look into the pit of hell.
