Monte Sona is located in the Belpasso area, on the southern slope of Mount Etna, along Provincial Road 92, which leads from Nicolosi to Rifugio Sapienza. It can be reached by driving one kilometer further toward Rifugio Sapienza after the La Nuova Quercia restaurant. Parking is available in the clearing on the left. A wooden plaque indicates the name of the mountain.

Beautiful trail! It's not very popular because it's not a tourist destination, but the passage is very picturesque, thanks in part to the enormous lava flow that runs along the mountain!
