The observatory, completed in the summer of 1977, is characterized by its unique architecture: two domes placed side by side, the roundness of which allows snow and volcanic ash to slide quickly to avoid accumulations that could otherwise endanger the structure. This construction method reflects the adaptation to the extreme conditions that can exist on Etna. While the many computers and sensors now spread throughout the volcano call into question the need for such an observation post, the climb to Osservatorio vulcanologico Etneo remains an unforgettable experience. The location at an altitude of over 2000 meters offers a spectacular view of the surrounding volcanic landscape, which is hard to beat in its wildness and beauty. Visitors should follow the advice of experienced hikers and prepare appropriately for the trip: a good jacket, sturdy shoes, sun protection and enough water are essential to make your stay at this altitude safe and enjoyable. Although the observatory may be considered a “lost place” today, it remains popular thanks to the breathtaking views and the opportunity to be surrounded by nature. The fascination with Mount Etna and its volcanic activity remains unbroken, and the Osservatorio vulcanologico Etneo stands as a testament to the human urge to understand and experience these forces of nature.

Now a 'lost place'. You can read about the story of the Observatory Pizzi Deneri in English here: https://www.go-etna.com/blog/observatory-pizzi-deneri/ The construction was completed in the summer of 1977. The building has a shape of two side-by-side domes, and not by chance. The roundness allows snow and volcanic ash to slide quickly, without accumulations that can break through the ceiling or block walls and entrances. Today the many computers and sensors scattered everywhere on the body of the volcano no longer justify the existence of such a place of observation. But it is still exciting to climb up at this altitude surrounded by a stunning natural view. Pizzi Deneri thus remains very popular and still today is supplied with cutting-edge technologies.

As you run along the north side of Etna, the lava fields are impressive. The higher you go in altitude, the more austere the landscape becomes. However, there is always a splash of wayward greenery growing among the old lava. The views are extraordinary and surreal. This place is truly unique.

The Timparossa refuge, located on the northern slope of Etna, is a truly special structure. It is part of the circuit of mountain refuges of the Sicilian volcano, but what makes it unique is the beech forest that surrounds it, which takes on red shades in autumn, thus justifying its name. This refuge is small in size and has been recently restored, featuring an entirely wooden construction. Next to the main building there is a well. At the back, you will find a barbecue corner made of lava stone and a small stone oven. Inside the refuge, there is a wood stove, particularly useful during the winter. In the vicinity of the refuge, there are several caves that you can explore. The terrain around this area, and on Etna in general, can be quite rough, but is still suitable for running.
