Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You’ll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure.
You’ll go by minibus to Etna, then, as the terrain becomes rockier, you’ll switch to a 4×4 vehicle. As you make your way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that’s safely reachable – there’ll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain.
Make sure you’re wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you’ll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, you’ll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.
