Sunset Hiking on Mount Etna with Vista over Valle del Bove

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us for a hike on Mount Etna, ending at the golden hour, to experience Europe’s highest active volcano colored with orange shades. The tour starts with a visit to an evocative lava flow cave, where you can marvel at the geological wonders formed by past eruptions. As you delve deeper into the mountain's secrets, the adventure continues with a visit to the enchanting Valle del Bove, a vast valley created by ancient lava flows.

Our journey takes us higher, hiking at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level among the inactive craters, where the air is crisp and the views are breathtaking. During the tour, we will have several stops to catch our breath, take photos, and fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty surrounding us. As we ascend, the anticipation builds for the grand finale of our adventure.

We reach the summit just in time for the magical sunset. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, is a sight you’ll never forget. This tour is suitable for families and offers a unique 6-hour experience that combines adventure, education, and unforgettable moments on one of the world's most impressive volcanoes.
