    Piano Provenzana, located at 1,810 meters above sea level. on the northern side of Etna, it is an important ski resort in the municipality of Linguaglossa. Unlike the southern side, it offers an environment similar to an Alpine landscape, immersed in a pine forest, overlooking the Ionian Sea and the Strait of Messina. It was hit by the 2002 eruption and subsequently renovated.

      You can drive up to here by car. Then continue either on foot, with the Unimog or, in winter, on skis. The volcano landscape is magnificent. You can see the lava flows from the various eruptions. Some things grow on some after just 20 years, while on others nothing grows even after 40 years. This is due to the acidic composition of the lava.

        Starting point for hikes into previous eruptions. Parking lot with supplies (toilet, souvenir, snack).
