Meet your English speaking guide and take an uncommon path from Rifugio Citelli to explore history and nature of Mt Etna. Considered the highest and the most active volcano in Europe, it has been growing for over 500 thousand years. Its slopes are home to over 25% of Sicily's population and it is their main source of income.

The route of your hike on Mt Etna passes through a forest, torrents of lava stone, Etna vegetation and the extraordinary Serracozzo cave.You will have a short visit of the cave before climbing up to the immense volcanic depression called “Valle del Bove”: one of the most stunning locations in Sicily with its moon landscape and wonderful scenery. The trekking will continue along the crest of the valley and will finish back down on a path of sandy lava.

You will continue your Mt Etna tour at the feet of the northern slope of the volcano. Rich in mineral soil this area is home to “Nerello Mascalese” and “Cappuccio” grapes. Their red wines have become very popular among wine lovers as the grapes reflect their surroundings with their fruity, herbaceous flavors and earthy nuance. In the Randazzo, Passopisciaro and Linguaglossa area, where most renown Sicilian wines are produced, we’ll visit a local celebrated winery whose wine production is a blend of old traditions of Sicilian farmers and the new winemaking techniques from all across the world. After the visit to the vineyards and the wine cellar, we’ll sit around a table to taste wines and delicacies from Etna.
