    Intense but so worth it !

    Silke_V, Sep 2023
    Very intense but rally worth the effort. We went up till about 3000 metres guided by a well informed guide explaining the evolution and general etna information very well. Basic physical condition is needed as the hike is intensive.

    Fantastic experience on Mount Etna with guide Luca

    Tom_L, May 2026
    Our excursion to Mount Etna was a very nice, adventurous and educational experience that is absolutely worth repeating. We went up to about 3,000 meters, through a landscape that was constantly changing: snow, lava fields and impressive craters. Our guide Luca was great. He has enormous knowledge, gives clear explanations and is always willing to answer questions. He created a steady, achievable pace that allowed everyone to follow comfortably. His passion for volcanology made the whole trip even more fascinating. Highly recommended for those who want to discover Etna in a safe, interesting and unforgettable way.
