Lights and Colors of the Volcano

When the sun begins to set, Etna transforms. The Etna Sunset Excursion at 2000 meters is designed for those seeking a romantic and photographic experience, away from the heat of the day and immersed in the golden colors of the evening.

We will explore the North side of the volcano, reaching Piano Provenzana by off-road vehicle. From here, a pleasant walk accessible to everyone towards the 2002 Craters will begin. We will walk on black volcanic sands that, at sunset, create a spectacular contrast with the sky turning pink, purple, and orange.

From the top of the lateral craters, you will enjoy an unparalleled view stretching from the Ionian coast to the Aeolian Islands and Calabria, while the volcano prepares for nature to sleep. An emotional tour, perfect for couples, families, and nature lovers.

Meeting in the late afternoon and ascent by SUV/Minivan. We will cross the Ragabo Pine Forest and the 2002 lava flow as the light begins to turn golden.

Arrival at Piano Provenzana

We reach an altitude of 1800m. Short stop to admire the alpine scenery of the northern ski resort, starting point for our trek.

Ascent to 2002 Craters

Easy but evocative walk between ancient fractures and volcanic bombs. We will climb up to 2050m along the edge of the "button crater" that destroyed the tourist resort.
