Description

A soft touristic visit of the middle and high altitudes and views of the volcano with a dedicated guide, with no walking or physical preparation needed.

This tour is for visitors who require an easier approach to Etna, but who still want to see the higher parts of the mountain. Using new and capable 4×4 tourist buses you will be cruising along the track leading to 2850m, while making a few stops on the way up or down to view some of the points of interest along the track.

During the stops, partecipants will be able to make very short guided walks around the area and, at lower altitude, will be guided to see a volcanic cave.
