An exciting experience to discover the volcanic soul of Etna.
Starting from the Sapienza Refuge, you will use the cable car to reach altitude and begin a journey between the eruptive cones of 2001 and 2002. You will skirt the spectacular wall of the Valle del Bove and visit an authentic lava flow channel.
Finally, you will reach the Torre del Filosofo area (Barbagallo Craters), a privileged point for admiring the recent eruptions of 2023 and enjoying breathtaking views of the Sommital Craters.
