Departure from Taormina to Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.

Duration: Half day ( morning)

Highest point: 2.000 meters ( Etna South) - Rifugio Sapienza

During the ascent, different kinds of vegetation can be seen: flowering, fertile citrus groves, vineyards, fruit trees and orchards, chestnut woods, beech woods, spread right up to the highest point. Then it is almost desert-like, where juniper bushes and astragalus sometimes grow over the lava.

Visit to the extinct Silvestri Craters at 2000 meters. Return towards Taormina.

Remarks: Please bring warm clothes and walking shoes.
