Guides to Etna
Practical answers to help you plan your excursion: when to go, what to bring, how to get there and who can go up. I write them based on the questions you ask me at the cable car station.
When to visit Etna
Seasons, weather and what changes between summer and winter.
What to bring and what to wear
Layers, shoes, what we provide and a checklist.
Quad or trekking: which to choose
Time, age and fitness: how to decide.
Etna with kids
From what age they can go up and how to get them ready.
Getting to Piazzale Funivia
By car, bus or taxi, and when to arrive.
Safety: who can go up
Weather, volcanic activity and physical condition.
Write to me and I'll help you choose
Tell me how many of you there are, your ages and the day you have in mind. I'll reply personally with the right excursion and a quote.
Meeting point
Piazzale Funivia dell'Etna, Etna South (Nicolosi, CT)
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.
