Your journey begins with convenient pickup from your accommodation, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure. Once at Rifugio Sapienza, situated 1920 meters above sea level, you have options: enjoy a scenic trek along one of the Etna Park paths up to 2000 meters, or upgrade to the "Etna high altitude" experience.

After exploring Etna’s volcanic beauty, the tour continues in Zafferana Etnea, known as the city of honey.
