What to expect
Starting from the tourist station of Piano Provenzana, located at about 1800 mt above sea level, we are going to drive – with our Etna off-road bus authorized by the Etna Park Authority – in the middle of ancient lava flows, also admiring ancient extinct craters, to arrive at the Volcanological Observatory that was built in 1977 at about 2850 mt above sea level. From here you are going to start a 15-minute hike that will take you to the end of the promontory of Pizzi Deneri, embracing a wide view of the Sicilian coast. You are also going to admire from a very short distance and safely the central volcanic cone where the main craters are.
On the way back, we are going to stop at 1.900 mt to explore the area.
