Overview
The AltaQuota Trek excursion is a tour that allows you to experience the emotion of walking literally surrounded by surreal views. The first part of the tour takes place by cable car, from the Sapienza refuge (1960 m) to the arrival station of the Etna cable car (2510 m), from here we will proceed on a trek to visit Pian del Lago, a false volcanic sand that creates a surreal lunar landscape, you will then climb the crater of the 2001 eruption, from where you can admire the nearby summit craters and the coast. Once you reach the lava fronts of the latest eruptions (2018) you will reach a very panoramic area over the famous Valle del Bove, a vast depression generated by the collapse of an ancient volcanic building. The maximum altitude reached with this tour is 2750 meters.
