Most excursions on Mount Etna stop at the Silvestri Craters, at relatively low altitude – but with this exclusive tour, you can reach the top of the highest active volcano in Europe with a dedicated volcanologist guide.

Take a cable car and 4WD to Torre del Filosofo, 2900 meters above the ground, and continue on foot for approximately 3 km until you reach the summit craters. Your expert guide will share the history of the volcano with you, so you can learn the story of Mount Etna while you admire the moon-like landscape stretching out to the coast.

Mount Etna: Excursion to the Summit Craters from Etna Sud

Reserve your ticket to secure a spot for visiting Europe's highest active volcano. Start at 1,923 m. (around 6,300 ft) above sea level at the base station.  

Ride a cable car to the upper station at 2,500 m. (approximately 8,200 ft). Alternatively, use 4x4 buses for the ascent. From this altitude, you can see the Summit craters and the Ionian coast.

In case of bad weather, 4x4 buses will replace the cable car.

Mount Etna: Roundtrip Cable Car Ticket

Take a cable car to the upper station at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). If winds are strong, 4x4 buses will take you to the same altitude, where you can view the Summit craters and the Ionian coast.

From there, ride a 4x4 bus up to 2,900 meters (9,500 feet), the highest point allowed. Alpine/Volcanological guides will ensure your safety as you explore the landscape. 

On clear days, enjoy views of eastern Sicily. If snow is expected, the journey will be made using special tracked vehicles (snowcat)
