beautiful route through woods and lava flows

Shelter temporarily closed Reopened at the end of October

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)

Even in bad weather or under dark clouds, the trip up is worthwhile. The cable car takes you up to 1,900 meters. By the time we reached the top, the clouds had almost disappeared due to the wind.

The Rifugio Piano dei Grilli is a welcoming structure immersed in the Etna Park. It offers a warm and hospitable shelter, with an internal room where you can relax Often frequented on weekends, it has a small workshop corner for bicycles. The view of Etna from here is simply spectacular.

Tough road for a gravel bike

Small refuge but with everything you need, I really enjoyed making a little stop here before starting my route in the Sartorius Mountains. Excellent
