メッシーナのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Classic Refuge always open in a wooded and cool area on the slopes of Etna. Outside a woodshed, in another hut a stable-manger and inside the refuge a table and two bunk beds on which to store sleeping bags. Someone always leaves something, liquor or even commemorative writings (which I would avoid though)

The Grotta del Gelo, on the northern side of Etna at 2,030 meters above sea level, is the southernmost glacier in Europe, known for its perennial ice maintained by unique climatic conditions.

The Grotta dei Lamponi (Raspberry Cave) is one of Etna's many "lava flow caves." It was formed by lava flow and the cooling of its outer crust. It is one of the longest on Etna. The upper tunnel is on average 2 meters high, but up to 300 meters long. The upper cave has suffered numerous collapses over time, including one spectacular collapse that opened up a huge "skylight" through which the sky can now be seen. Nevertheless, descending into the cave always involves its own dangers. Be careful if there is still snow at the entrance (steep/slippery!). In any case, bring a flashlight and a helmet if necessary. It's worth it!

Great view

Most of Alicudi's inhabitants live near the port

A beautiful excursion destination and viewpoint is Alicudi's first church, built in 1821.

A wonderful trail with views of Mount Etna and Taormina. In spring, everything here blooms in a thousand colors...simply unbelievably beautiful.

The local mountain of Lipari.
