This unforgettable day trip begins with a scenic drive to Rifugio Sapienza, the perfect starting point for hikes and nature walks on Mount Etna. Along the way, stop at breathtaking viewpoints, capturing stunning photos with the volcano on one side and the sparkling sea on the other. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into Etna’s history, magma, past eruptions, and lava formations. Once at the highest point accessible by road, step out and choose your adventure! Hike along one of the natural trails up to 1,900 meters, surrounded by endemic Etna plants and the chance to spot local wildlife such as foxes, wild rabbits, and birds of prey. Alternatively, opt for extra activities such as the Etna High Altitude experience, taking a cable car and a special 4x4 minibus. Continue your adventure with a guided exploration of a lava cave, equipped with helmet and flashlight, to discover the impressive volcanic underground world. After leaving Mount Etna, visit one of the area’s top wineries for a tasting of 4 exceptional Etna wines. Each wine is thoughtfully paired with carefully selected local products such as vegetables, cold cuts, and cheeses. This tasting itinerary allows you to truly experience the flavors of the region and understand how the volcanic land has shaped both the food and the wines. The tour concludes with a return to your original meeting point in Catania, marking the end of an unforgettable journey through Sicily’s volcanic heart.
