A beautiful, short hike to the summit of Monte Zoccolaro with panoramic views of Mount Etna and the Valle del Bove caldera (lava flow from 1991-1993). Don't be fooled; there are actually two paths leading to the summit. The western one (= former road) runs through nowhere. With a lot of intuition and perseverance, you can continue from here, but there is no defined path to the summit—until you reach the marked path from the hut! The actual path to the summit is marked (trail 704), but it is a real, partly overgrown, sunken path that occasionally winds very close to the edge. Caution: after heavy rains, part of the edge could slide away. The cross on the summit of Monte Zoccolaro dates back to 1948, when priest Salvatore Russo, along with some parishioners, carried it on his shoulders to the summit of the mountain. Here, it was inscribed with the words: Prayer, Deed, Sacrifice and firmly anchored. Every year on September 14th – the day the cross was erected – a mass is celebrated at the foot of the monument at 9 a.m. In good weather, the view over the Val Bove is breathtaking, and the summit is one of the privileged vantage points for witnessing Etna's eruptions at night. It's worth it, but it's more than just a short walk!

It is sublime to be at the highest volcano in Europe.

What is crazy is that the ground is still warm to hot 23 years after the eruption in 2001.

A must. Expensive, but worth it. Very impressive. Only with a mountain guide.

The journey to Etna leads through a landscape marked by volcanic activity. Plumes of smoke rising from various parts of the main crater and the secondary craters testify to the tireless dynamism beneath the earth's surface. This constantly changing environment, where snow covers the peaks as early as autumn, forms a breathtaking backdrop characterized by the wild and dangerous beauty of the volcano. The experience of standing in the gray vastness of the volcanic landscape makes one feel one's own smallness in the face of the mighty forces of nature. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, the beauty of this place is breathtaking. The view from the peaks of Etna offers an incomparable panorama that stretches from the island of Sicily to the vast horizon of the Mediterranean. To explore this extraordinary hiking highlight, it is important to observe the local regulations of the Parco dell'Etna and to climb with an experienced mountain guide due to the potential dangers. Being accompanied by an expert not only ensures safety during the hike, but also offers the opportunity to learn more about the volcanic activity, geological features and history of Etna. In addition to the expert guide, you should also make sure you have appropriate equipment, especially enough water and protection from the changeable weather conditions that can change quickly at high altitudes.

The hike from the base of Etna to the upper craters, including those from 2003, is a challenge that is rewarded with breathtaking views and the unparalleled experience of standing on one of the world's most active volcanoes. Although there is the option to take a bus to the top for €33.00, many hikers recommend climbing on foot to traverse the unique terrain of lava ash. While the climb can be strenuous, especially as there is no shade along the way, the views and proximity to the forces of nature make up for any effort. Many visitors emphasize the imposing presence of Etna, whose size and natural power are hard to describe in words. The steep climb to the Cratere del Laghetto is rewarded with spectacular views of Etna and its active craters, a sight that is an unforgettable experience for many. Hikes can be undertaken on your own as a guide is not mandatory, increasing flexibility for individual exploration. A circular trail takes hikers along the crater rim, from where, in good weather, there is a clear view of Etna and the surrounding landscape. The weather on Etna can change quickly, but as many visitors report, patience is worth it, because the sky often clears up and reveals a breathtaking panorama. The hike to the Cratere del Laghetto and the exploration of Etna are a must for every visitor to Sicily who is looking for adventure and wants to experience nature in its most pristine form. The combination of physical challenge and the reward of spectacular natural spectacles makes this place an unforgettable highlight.
