Description
RESELLING TOUR | 4X4 BUS & GROUP GUIDE | ADVANCE PAYMENT €15 + €59 ON SITE |
The Etna 3000 excursion (currently it reaches just below this altitude at 2850 metres at the Volcanological Observatory. See Maps) proposed by us takes place with the help of the authorized tourist transport service on the northern side of Etna which allows you to easily ascend from an altitude of 1800 up to at the base of the summit craters of the Etna volcano. Once you reach Piano Provenzana you will take special 4×4 bus vehicles. There are 2 stops, one intermediate and one at the highest altitude currently reachable by motor vehicles on the volcano (2850 m) always accompanied by a volcanological guide. Etna 3000 is a tour suitable for everyone (except heart patients and infants due to the altitude). NB: This excursion is provided by the company Etna Travel Service (EtnaExcursion.it acts as a reseller and only requires secretarial fees and reservation tickets).
Or if you are a good walker, consider our proposals to climb to the top of the highest volcano in Europe and make a dream come true…
