파르코 델에트나 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Sensational scenery and a sensational view. A must-see.

This trail is wonderful! After an initial uphill stretch through the woods, you'll find yourself walking through a truly evocative landscape until you reach the Valle del Bove.

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.

One of the most beautiful lava tunnels on the north side of Mount Etna is the Serracozzo Grotto (surely often visited, but not signposted). A lava tunnel is not a cave, but rather one formed during an eruption, when a crust forms on the surface of the slowly flowing lava in flatter terrain. This "tunnel" is easy to enter (assuming there's no threat of a thunderstorm (flooding!) or ice and snow making entry dangerous). Don't forget your flashlight; two cave-ins in the ceiling provide sufficient light until halfway through the tunnel, after which it becomes very shallow and pitch-dark in places. It's worth exploring!

Great tour even in February with snow.

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

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