The route is suitable for those with a strong desire to walk. The route, rich in volcanic features, initially involves transport with our 4x4 vehicles up to an altitude of 2930 metres. From this point begins a 4km climb on foot along a path surrounded by volcanic bombs and waste, with a total height difference of 370 meters up to the edge of Etna's Central Crater, at 3300 meters above sea level. The descent will take place on soft scoria and volcanic ash until we reach our 4×4 vehicles, which will take us back to Piano Provenzana, the arrival point of our excursion. The excursion involves a total of 4 kilometers of walking (round trip) for 3.5 hours, perfectly suitable for those who are used to regularly hiking in the mountains.
