Etna Jeep Tour - Overview
Explore the summit craters of a stunning volcano on an offroad adventure and create unforgettable memories during your holiday in Sicily.
Come with us on our special 4×4 UNIMOG vehicles, approved by the Etna Park Authority. You will see the craters from past eruptions and a stunning landscape as you approach the summit. Visiting Etna’s craters is a breathtaking experience.
Join our experienced guides to safely reach the Observatory at the base of Etna’s four active craters. From there, you can admire the volcano from a unique viewpoint.
FREE TICKET FOR CHILDREN UP TO 3 YEARS
The excursion always takes place in complete safety, it may undergo variations at the discretion of the guides, or it may be interrupted in the event of changes in environmental, climatic or volcanic conditions.
Schedule
Starting from Piano Provenzana, at an altitude of 1800 metres, we will walk along the panoramic path that goes up the northern side of Etna and which leads to the Volcanological Observatory located at an altitude of 2850 metres.
Once we reach the foot of the central craters, our guides will accompany us on a short and pleasant walk up to the Pizzi Deneri Belvedere.
From here you can enjoy an extraordinary panorama that extends from the majestic summit craters of Etna to the Ionian Sea, crossing the suggestive Valle del Bove and Valle del Leone (visibility may vary depending on meteorological or volcanic conditions).
After returning to the vehicles, we will head towards the craters formed during the 2002 eruption, where we will have the opportunity to walk along the edges of the craters themselves and closely observe the signs left by the eruption.
Finally, we will complete our trip by returning to Piano Provenzana on board our off-road vehicles.
