Running
lots of gravel so it's difficult to run uphill however the slope like in all volcanoes is not steep on the path ~15% and on the dirt road for off-road vehicles ~10% the ascent to the summit of Etna is possible to do running and for the most part runnable without technical sections. During the ascent you will encounter some lateral craters from which some water vapor comes out, characteristic of these types of volcanoes.
