Description

SHARED TOUR | ADULTS €36 – CHILDREN €25 | INCLUDES TASTING COUPON

The Etna Smart Trekking excursion is our new LOW COST proposal for those who want to have a guided experience on Etna at a reasonable price but with the quality and professionalism that have always been the focus of our organization. If you have your own car, it could be the tour for you, you just have to reach the established meeting point where your guide will be waiting for you (note: we only use qualified guides!). From there, having assessed the skills and expectations of the participants, you will be guided on an itinerary that will take you to get to know our volcano up close. Whether it is a walk around ancient extinct craters or a light trek to visit the Valle del Bove, the added value of this excursion, in addition to the beauty of the places, is the presence of the guide who will illustrate the naturalistic characteristics that make our territory unique, declared a UNESCO heritage site since 2013. Optionally, it is possible to add a visit to a volcanic cave with lights and a speleologist helmet.

The excursion takes place at more convenient times than other tours, to meet everyone's needs. For these reasons it is a particularly suitable excursion proposal for families with children or groups of friends. Important: for those who wish to go on a trekking itinerary, suitable footwear is required.
