Not only is it possible, but sometimes you can even touch it (or almost…)

Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and erupts with a rather frequent frequency (on average once a year). The possibility of seeing an eruption also depends on the duration of the eruptive event itself, in fact sometimes the eruption lasts only a few hours (paroxysms) but it can also last months or years as is remembered for the eruption of Zafferana in 1991/93 (473 days). If you are lucky enough to visit the volcano during an eruptive phase, we strongly recommend that you contact expert guides, who, knowing the best observation points, will allow you to safely enjoy a unique and unforgettable spectacle.

A is published on our website updated bulletin on the status of the volcano and the possibility of tourist use.

EtnaExcursion.it has a special excursion in its catalogue to see the eruptions: the Lava Tour
