Departures available with a minimum of 6 participants

This trekking requires good physical fitness. The trail is generally manageable and free of difficult passages, but caution is still necessary due to the volcanic terrain.

The hypogean environment (lava tube) may cause claustrophobia in sensitive individuals; if this occurs, it must be immediately communicated to the guide.

The excursion may be modified or interrupted at the discretion of the guides in case of environmental, weather, or volcanic changes that could compromise the safety of the group.

The total duration of the hike will depend on the group’s pace.

The excursion will be conducted within the limits of current official regulations.

Also suitable for children over the age of 8.

This itinerary is designed for people in good physical health, and not suitable for those with cardiovascular, respiratory issues, or hypertension.

The use of contact lenses is discouraged due to ash, which, if blown by the wind, may cause irritation.

Pregnant women beyond the third month are not allowed to take part in any hiking activity.

To ensure the smooth progress and safety of the excursion, it is important to be aware of your physical condition and inform the guide if necessary—this helps to reduce risks and avoid possible issues.

For a safe and comfortable excursion, it’s essential to be properly prepared with the right gear. We recommend bringing:

Packed lunch – Essential to maintain your energy throughout the hike.

Layered clothing – Short-sleeved shirt, long-sleeved thermal shirt, and a fleece or sweatshirt. Layering allows you to easily adjust to temperature changes during the ascent.

Hiking boots – Proper footwear is indispensable for walking on uneven terrain. If you don’t have your own, you can rent them on-site for just €5 per pair.

Headlamp or flashlight – Useful for visibility in case of unexpected changes in the hike schedule.

K-way (rain jacket) – Essential to protect you from rain or wind.

Windbreaker or down jacket – Depending on the season, an appropriate jacket will protect you from the cold, especially at higher altitudes.

Gloves or hat – Crucial in the colder months (autumn, winter, spring).

Water – Bring at least 1.5 liters to stay hydrated throughout the hike.

25/30 L backpack – To comfortably carry all your essentials.

Trekking poles – To improve balance along the trail.

Sunscreen – To protect your skin from UV rays.

Sunglasses – To protect your eyes from intense sunlight.

Spare socks – To keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Long pants – To protect your legs from thorns and wind.

Waterproof jacket – To stay dry in case of rain.

Spare t-shirt – To change if you feel sweaty or damp.

Bandana or scarf – To protect against dust and sun.

In case of adverse weather conditions, we will notify you as soon as possible regarding the cancellation or rescheduling of your Etna excursion.

Please ensure that you have provided your contact information at the time of booking.

Advance payment is not required (except for agencies or groups).

You will pay directly to the guide who will be with you on the day of the excursion.

If there is a high number of requests for our Etna excursions, participants will be divided into smaller subgroups, each accompanied by a certified volcanological guide, in order to prevent the formation of large gatherings.
Everything will be arranged in accordance with the languages spoken.
