Hiking

From this stretch of path that leads to Piano Provenzana you can see the summit craters of Mount Etna. Continuing a little on the same path you reach the remains of the Le Betulle hotel, which was submerged by the lava flow of 2002. It is truly impressive to visit these places, which show, in a tangible way, the power of nature.

Hiking

Hiking in the area of previous eruptions is reminiscent of lunar landscapes. Simply magnificent.

What you see here are not the summit craters, but the northeast crater.
