Full description
And you, have you ever been to the moon?
Experience an off-road tour to Etna's Crateri Silvestri and immerse yourself for five hours in a landscape worthy of another planet (or satellite!).
The sunset will take care of the atmosphere. We'll make sure the whole family gets a unique memory!
What we will do
The meeting will take place at the meeting point in Catania, 5 minutes before the time selected when booking. We will immediately make the acquaintance of our expert guide, who will take us on a discovery tour ofMount Etna.
Once on board our off-road vehicles, our adventure will begin: we will head towards the volcano, reaching its southern slope in particular. The first stop will be inside a lava cave, Grotta Cassone, a wonder of nature to be admired equipped with helmets and torches (provided by the organiser).
After this exciting start, we will get back on board our vehicles to reach the famous Crateri Silvestri: here we will experience an unforgettable (and very simple) trek to enjoy the landscape and the view of the Bay of Catania. After a short stop at a refuge, we will proceed along a scenic path towards the last stage, Piano Vetore. A unique panorama of the Etna Valley, illuminated by the romantic light of sunset, will suddenly open up before us.
During our hike on Etna we will touch a maximum altitude of around 1900 metres, while maintaining a minimum altitude difference. At the end of this volcanic adventure of about 5 hours, we will return to Catania on board our all-terrain vehicles.
