On this private Mount Etna tour with an expert local guide, you’ll journey to the summit of Europe’s tallest active volcano. Wander the otherworldly landscapes of this slumbering giant before tasting the exceptional wine that’s produced in its idyllic foothills. With its lunar-like craters, glowing lava fields, and sweeping views, this Mount Etna day trip will be the most one-of-a-kind experience on your tour of Sicily.
Overview
Begin your Mount Etna excursion driving through the sun-soaked Sicilian countryside, past rolling vineyards and sleepy olive groves. As you wind your way up the barren, ash-strewn mountain, your guide will share tales of the ancient mythology that has made this volcano so legendary throughout the ages. When you reach Rifugio Sapienza, at some 6,300 ft (1,900 mt) above sea level, start your walking on the out-of-this-world terrains of the Silvestri Craters. You can also take an optional cable car and 4×4 journey to the smoldering summit (2700/3000 mt) where ancient lava flows await.
After your volcanic expedition, descend to a vine-draped winery where a local winemaker will share the secrets of the distinct viticulture that thrives in Sicily. Finish your private Mount Etna tour with wine tasting and an organic lunch overlooking idyllic vineyards.
