Overview

EtnaGrantour is dedicated to those who want to experience the most complete visit possible with only one day available. Generally excursions on Etna are offered in half a day with the visit of a single slope. Etna Grantour allows you to get to know 3 slopes of Etna Park starting from the Etna villages up to an altitude of about 2000 metres. Il Mattino we will dedicate to Trekking (about 2/3 hours) on the trails of the Etna park. After the “fatigues” of the walk, you will therefore have earned a refreshment stop based on local specialities. In the afternoon we will continue aboard the off-road vehicles for a 4x4 safari on off-road routes.

You will also see:

  • The barren lava fields of ancient and recent castings
  • The pioneer and endemic vegetation of the lavas
  • Tourist locations destroyed by eruptions
  • The side craters extinguished with a button panel
  • The majestic caldera of the Valle del Bove
  • A volcanic cave of lava flow (lava tube)

Activity itinerary

Mount Etna
  • 8h
Etna, in addition to being one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is certainly also one of the most fascinating. Inevitable it is the subject of numerous stories and curiosities. Its geographical position in the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, with the sea just a short distance away, creates ideal conditions for developing an incredible diversity of landscapes. Anyone who imagines the volcano as a wasteland consisting only of bare and raw volcanic rock is wrong. The Etnean territory extends from sea level up to 3329 metres, an absolutely variable altitude based on the eruptive activities! This great altitudinal difference in a relatively small space has created a unique ecosystem, within which man for millennia has learned to live together in very particular conditions, always defining it with multiple names, among which A 'prevails in the local meaning. Muntagna.
