Summit Etna North 3380mt: 4x4 and trekking
Departures begin from Piano Provenzana on Etna’s wild, less-touristic north slope, where group sizes are smaller for a more intimate experience. Off-road vehicles follow a panoramic track across ancient craters and recent lava flows up to 2,825 m. From there, a 500 m uphill hike winds through volcanic bombs and scoria to the Central Crater at 3,380 m. At the summit, admire the immense, unique volcanic landscape and the sweeping views from the “roof of Sicily” (visibility varies with weather and volcanic activity). The descent retraces the route, ending with an easy walk down soft scoria channels back to 2,825 m, where 4×4 vehicles return you to Piano Provenzana.
