Lava Front from the 2002 Eruption
Hop on board our comfortable SUV or minivan (up to 8 people per vehicle) and immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Etna. The first stop of the tour will bring you before the lava front of October 27, 2002, the farthest point reached by what was the largest eruption in recent times. This eruption changed the northern Etna landscape, destroying the ski facilities of Piano Provenzana and part of the Ragabo Pine Forest.
Piano Provenzana northern Etna
We will proceed through the Ragabo Forest, along the Mareneve road, arriving at 1800m altitude at Piano Provenzana.
2002 Crater Trekking
Leaving Piano Provenzana behind us, we will set off on our unforgettable adventure toward the 2002 Craters. It is a fairly easy trek; you will be guided by an expert who will adapt the pace to the different needs of the group, with regular pauses to relax and fully enjoy the beauty of the landscape.
The trail winds through ancient lava flows and canyons shaped by lava, until it reaches a high-altitude plateau where nature is beginning to flourish once again. We will pass near the base of the Monte Nero degli Zappini crater, allowing you to admire its grandeur from a close-up perspective.
We will then reach the 2002 Craters, at an elevation of 2050m. Walking along the crater rims, you will arrive at a panoramic viewpoint with breathtaking views: the eastern coast of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, the Ionian Sea, and the Strait of Messina blending with Calabria on the horizon.
