기아레‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산 정상

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!

Very impressive tree, definitely worth seeing!

Monte Fior di Cosimo with its 1176 m above sea level, gives us beautiful views with the sea in the distance.

one of the most beautiful trees of Etna. It can be reached from various points. In my opinion, the most beautiful route is a loop from Piano Nello

From Monte Zoccolaro (1739 m asl) it is possible to admire below the lunar panorama of the Valle del Bove with the lava flows of the eruptions accumulated over thousands of years. Towards the top it is possible to observe the summit parts of Etna with the eastern craters.

Old and imposing centuries-old holm oak, very famous and loved by the locals. Easily reachable in a few minutes from several well-marked trails.
