Etna Up to 2900m and 2002 Craters
Easy Level
Etna 2900 starts from Piano Provenzana, one reaches an altitude of 2,900 meters by traveling with off-road vehicles along a high-mountain track, carved among suggestive expanses of lava and volcanic sand along the fracture that opened during the 2002 eruption.
You will reach an altitude of 2,840 meters, where there is the vulcanological observatory of Pizzi Deneri. From this point, the ascent on foot begins along a path surrounded by volcanic scoria and bombs. The total ascent is 300 meters until reaching a panoramic point at an altitude of 2,900 meters. With good weather, you can see both the “Leone” valley and the “Bove” valley, as well as the majesty of the Northeast and Southeast craters.
