Overview
The "Etna - Ring on the Valley" trek is a real volcanic bath of Etna ash that you will absorb like a sponge, in your veins. Etna, with its 3,403 meters of height, is a volcanic giant that dominates the Sicilian landscape, a unique attraction in the world both for its majestic presence and for its volcanic activity. It is the largest active volcano in Europe, a natural laboratory where nature manifests itself in all its power, with spectacular eruptions and a unique landscape, characterized by lava flows, craters, caves and volcanic deserts. These environments offer a suggestive spectacle, with the contrast between the wild nature and the fascinating aesthetics and image of Etna. In fact, it is a symbol of Sicily and its culture, present in legends, traditions and art. Its presence influences the daily life of Sicilians, with crops that adapt to volcanic conditions and a special relationship with the mountain.
