Etna 3000 starts from Piano Provenzana, you reach an altitude of 2,900 meters along a high mountain path with off-road vehicles, created among suggestive expanses of lava and volcanic sand along the fracture that opened during the 2002 eruption. Continuing the excursion with our off-road vehicles up to 2,840 meters above sea level, we reach the volcanological observatory of Pizzi Deneri. From this point the climb begins on foot along a path surrounded by volcanic waste and bombs. The total climb is 300 meters until you reach a panoramic point at 2,900 meters above sea level. In good weather, it is possible to see both the Leone and Bove valleys, as well as the majesty of the North-East and South-East craters.
