Thanks to the Trekking Crateri Silvestri excursion, you will enjoy the spectacular lunar landscapes that Etna offers, following a path that will lead you towards the craters and lava eruptions that have repeatedly distorted the morphology of the Etna volcano.

Starting from the Silvestri Mountains (Etna South), we will head along a trekking itinerary in the surroundings of the Silvestri Craters immersed between old and new lava flows.
From the main path we will take you towards the upper crater and walking along the edges of old volcanic cones that are now extinct and dormant, you will admire unparalleled landscapes.

The circular tour will end in the same place as the departure.

This is the trekking experience suitable for everyone, from the Silvestri Craters, now extinct craters located on the southern side of the volcano, you will be able to admire the beauty of the small Etna villages and the sea from above.

This Trekking experience does not include a visit to the Summit craters.
