This tour starts at Piano Provenzana and follows a mountain path at an altitude of 2900 meters.

Traveling by off-road vehicle, we will reach a high mountain slope framed by magnificent views of lava and volcanic sand along the rift created by the 2002 eruption.

Here we will walk on the edge of the 2002 craters and see how a volcano is created. Here we will identify minerals characterized by colors ranging from yellow to red to blue. From here the breathtaking view embraces the Gulf of Taormina, the Bay of Naxos, the Strait of Messina and Calabria and the Nebrodi mountain range up to Rocca Novara, you can admire the most evocative panoramas in the world, apparently lunar landscapes created by multiple eruptions laterals along the north face of Etna.

Continuing our excursion with our off-road vehicles up to an altitude of 2900 metres, the North-East crater (where the volcano observatory is located) dominates the area.

From this point the climb on foot will begin on a path surrounded by volcanic waste and bombs. The total difference in altitude is 300 meters until you reach the panoramic point, at an altitude of 2900 metres. There we will stop to admire the grandeur, uniqueness and processes of the volcanic environment, combined with the spectacle of the panorama enjoyed from the roof of Sicily (visibility may vary depending on meteorological or volcanic conditions).

In good weather you can see both the Leone and Bove Valleys, the majesty of the North East and the South East. The tour ends by going up Piano delle Concazze and then descending to Piano Provenzana, the arrival point of our excursion.
