2002 eruption lava front
The Etna and Alcantara Gorges excursion begins in an SUV or minivan (up to 8 passengers per vehicle). The first step of our tour is an off-road drive to the lava front of 27/10/2002, the biggest eruption in the last twenty years, which destroyed the ski resort of Piano Provenzana and part of the Ragabo pine forest.
Sartorius Mountains Craters
We will travel through the Ragabo forest along the Mareneve road to the starting point of the trek to the Sartorius Mountains, where our hike will continue on foot. This is a walk of easy difficulty, suitable for everyone; the route is about 3km long in total, starting at an altitude of 1665m and arriving at an altitude of about 1775m.
We will walk along an easy path, among birch trees and side button craters (“bottoniera”), the Sartorius Craters, on the north-eastern slope of Etna. We will reach several vantage points with unique and spectacular views.
The Sartorius Mountains are part of a well-known panoramic itinerary, near Rifugio Citelli, originating from the 1865 eruption on Etna’s northern slope, named after the German volcanologist Wolfgang Sartorius.
It is an itinerary suitable for any hiker and is one of the first Nature Trails marked by the Etna Park: seven button craters characterise the landscape, which is still partly barren but in which nature has returned to germinate. Once at the top, we will reach several vantage points from which you can admire: to the west, Monte Frumento delle Concazze, at an altitude of 2151 m, one of Etna’s largest craters; in front, the Ionian Sea and the Nebrodi and Peloritani mountain chains; on days with good visibility, it will also be possible to admire Calabria and the Aeolian Islands.
Cave of Thieves - Cave of Snows
After our trekking we will take you to explore the Grotta dei Ladroni (also known as the Grotta delle Nevi, or Cave of Thieves and Cave of Snows). Equipped with helmets and torches, we will go inside this lava flow tunnel to discover its formation and history.
It is a tunnel of lava origin, easy to reach and visit, located in the Piano delle Donne locality at 1540m a.s.l. Part of the cave was excavated by the hand of man, as can be seen from the date engraved on a rock at the top of the entrance: 1776. In addition to the construction of steps and the widening of what was once a lava flow tunnel, a number of holes were drilled in the vault to allow for the introduction and accumulation of snow. In past centuries, the inhabitants of Etna used this cave to store snow in the winter months, then reselling it in the warmer months.
Full day alternative?
If our Etna Jeep tour interests you but you would prefer a longer experience to spend the whole day with us, we recommend our Etna and Alcantara Gorges tour. You will experience the same emotions described in this tour and in addition you will enjoy a typical Sicilian lunch and a following visit to another unique place in the Etna landscape, the Alcantara Gorges!
