Departures scheduled when a minimum of 6 people are reached

The trek does not require great physical preparation, it is easy and does not have particularly difficult passages, however attention is required as it is on volcanic soil, often inconsistent and unstable.

Trekking is not recommended for those who are used to little physical activity.

The excursion may be subject to changes at the discretion of the Guides or be interrupted if environmental, atmospheric or volcanic conditions change, which could compromise the safety of the entire group.

The total duration of the trek will depend on your pace.

The excursion will take place within the limits set by the ordinances in force.

Also suitable for children

The route includes climbing and passing along the crater rims, which could cause vertigo problems for sensitive individuals.

This itinerary, in relation to its typology, is suitable for people in good physical health, who do not suffer from particular pathologies (cardiovascular, respiratory or hypertension).

We do not recommend the use of contact lenses because of the gases released by the volcano and the ash which, if blown, could easily cause problems.

Pregnant women who are past the third month of pregnancy are not permitted to engage in any type of hiking activity.

To ensure the success of the excursion and the correct performance of the activity, it is good practice to know your health conditions perfectly and to make them known to the Guide, if necessary, all this to reduce the onset of any problems and avoid running risks.

To best deal with the weather conditions and terrain of our excursions, it is essential to choose the right equipment.

Layering (short-sleeved shirt, fleece, and windbreaker) is highly recommended to protect you from the strong winds that characterize many of our outings.

Likewise, proper trekking shoes are essential to ensure stability and safety on uneven terrain.

Don’t forget a warm jacket or down jacket , especially useful in spring and autumn when temperatures can be colder.

Also, make sure to bring at least half a liter of water per person to stay hydrated throughout the hike.

Other useful accessories include: snacks, trekking poles, sunglasses, sunscreen or lip balm, long trousers to protect you from the wind and a waterproof jacket in case of rain.

Be prepared to enjoy a safe and enjoyable excursion!
