In the woods
Quad excursion on Etna
The roar of the engine, volcanic dust and woods that open up onto Etna: one to enjoy as a couple, with family or with friends. We set off from Piazzale Funivia, Etna South.

What the excursion is like
It's the excursion people choose most often at the cable car station. You ride the quad through the woods on the south side, without heading up towards the summit: to reach 3,000 and 3,400 m you go on foot.
No experience needed: before setting off you'll get all the instructions you need to ride it with confidence. If you have any doubts about age or fitness, write to me first and we'll talk it through.
Fancy doing it at sunset? You can, on request, when the season allows. Ask me for dates.

Before you go
Weather and volcanic activity decide whether we go up and how far, and the choice is made on the spot, on the day. High-altitude excursions are not suitable for anyone with heart or breathing problems.
