    Tips

    Tour with Andrea, a Swiss volcanic mountain guide. Very educational and highly informative. On this day loud vocal activities on the crater floor

     Dull surf sounds. Corrosive swaths of sulfur dioxide. Together with the breathing air they form sulfuric acid. Thanks to the entrained gas masks we could continue our way. Helmets are mandatory on the summit. Of course you can also go to the summit on your own. But it is now legally prohibited and the way is also visibly closed. But for about 50 € on their own climb including helmet and masks, you can not complain for a 6 hour tour with so much information. For transport use come again 45 €. And all mountain guides present are quite allergic when they see people without a helmet and proper equipment behind the barrier. Who needs contact information, contact me.

      There is a very strong wind up here. Take your jacket with you 😊

        Only to be climbed with a mountain guide, everything else is illegal. After a steep ascent you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view. The air is getting thinner there
