モーイオ・アルカンタラの天然記念物・トップ20

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)

Argimusco is a plateau located in Sicily, just north of Etna, approximately on the border between the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountains, and is administratively divided between the municipalities of Montalbano Elicona, Tripi (which stands on the site of ancient Abacaenum) and Roccella Valdemone. The plateau is very panoramic as you can admire Etna, the Aeolian Islands, the curious mountains Rocca Salvatesta and Montagna di Vernà, Capo Tindari, Capo Calavà and Capo Milazzo up close. It is part of the Bosco di Malabotta nature reserve.

Approx. 115m long volcanic grotto. A few meters off the main path. Signposted.

It is located a very short distance from the track, following an uphill path. The cave is also slightly uphill... it is not very high, nor one of the most spectacular. But it is really easy to reach

Wood, water, a fireplace, bunk beds and a table are available. I slept very well :)

The Gurne dell'Alcantara can be reached via an easy hiking trail from Francavilla in 15 minutes. Sneakers are sufficient. There are various access points to the river and many bathing opportunities.

It is a lava flow cave, access to which is possible from the collapsed vault. It was discovered in 2000. I left the bike on the path and continued on foot

The Saletti Refuge is dedicated to a forestry manager, is located in the Etna Park and is part of a structure of the Regional Department of Rural and Territorial Development.
