비아그란데 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Very impressive tree, definitely worth seeing!

I recommend ankle-high hiking boots and hiking poles. Partly steep and exposed.

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.

Panoramic point over the Bove valley and the entire Ionian coast. Lots of slope so I recommend a bit of training!

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!

A wonderful view, especially when the weather is clear: stop and enjoy!

Grove with lush vegetation where you can immerse yourself for a nice walk.
