Beautiful view of the 5km wide Valle del Bove. In contrast to the south side, the paths are not as well developed and there are fewer people on the trail. Partly steep and slippery. No shade. Great place!

Fabulous view of the Valle del Bove. Here you can choose whether you want to continue climbing or descend towards the hut.

Better than up at the summit in the Turi streams!

At the first light of the morning, as the sun kisses the peaks of Etna, I lace up my hiking boots and set off for the Valle del Bove. The air is fresh, a harbinger of the adventure that lies ahead. The path to the valley is not an easy walk; it is a journey through the untouched nature at the foot of the volcano. I remember the advice to always keep an eye on the weather – it can change quickly up here. But today the sky is clear and the view of the valley, filled with cooled lava, is incomparable. I feel small next to the evidence of ancient eruptions, a wanderer in the face of eternity. The rumbling of the volcano accompanies me as I move deeper into the valley. Here, in this world of stone and ash, the true wildness of nature is revealed. I follow the path, surrounded by the majestic silence, and take in the landscape. Every step reveals new wonders, every panorama tells its own story. When I arrive at the southern edge of the Obertal, I pause. The view is stunning – a raw beauty that words can hardly contain. I breathe in deeply, the fresh air filling my lungs, and in that moment I feel deeply alive.

The Valle del Bove can be reached in an hour on foot from Rifugio Sapienza. The huge valley is almost completely filled by a cooled lava flow, on which no vegetation was visible in 2023. Only a few higher spots protrude from the lava field where the lava flowed around it.

The best thing to do on Etna is a guided tour!

Serra delle Concazze, located in the municipality of Sant'Alfio, is a section of the C.A.I. path. no. 723, offering breathtaking views of Etna and a unique endemic flora. Starting from the Citelli Refuge, it passes through "Aetnensis" birch woods and volcanic outcrops, culminating in the 1928 eruptive vents near Monte Frumento delle Concazze.

Until at least March the path is icy or snowed over and you constantly sink. You can't go without a mountain guide and snowshoes.
