Etna culmine à 3 403 mètres et est le plus grand volcan actif d'Europe. Cette randonnée, que l'opérateur appelle "Le Tour de la Vallée", explore le terrain où cette échelle devient lisible : coulées de lave, cratères, grottes et désert volcanique, les uns après les autres. Ce que la montagne fait à la Sicile fait partie du sujet. On y trouve des cultures adaptées aux sols volcaniques, des légendes liées au sommet, et une relation quotidienne entre les habitants et une montagne qui n'a pas vraiment d'équivalent. La randonnée monte progressivement, à travers les plantes endémiques et la forêt de la zone de haute montagne, et traverse un désert sablonneux pour atteindre la Valle del Bove, la dépression caldeira située sur le versant est. Par temps clair, la vue depuis cet endroit permet d'observer les cratères actifs du sommet, la côte ionienne avec ses villes d'origine grecque, la Calabre, la mer Tyrrhénienne et le détroit de Messine. Une partie du parcours est délibérément plus facile : du sable de lave fin dans lequel on s'enfonce, ce qui est la façon la plus directe de comprendre la quantité de matière que le volcan éjecte lors d'une paroxysme. La dernière étape descend dans un tube de lave, avec un casque d'exploration et des lampes torches, où le sujet est la façon dont la lave s'écoule et à quoi les grottes ont servi.

  1. SP92, 19, Nicolosi

    Head for the internal car park of the Bar and Restaurant Terrazza dell'Etna. If it is too busy, the upper car park in front of the Terrazza dell'Etna sign works too.

  2. After the guide's welcome with a coffee

    The guide starts with a coffee and a short briefing, then the group sets off. From the first metres the ground is the lunar Etna: lava flows and the buttonhole craters that give this side its shape, some of them responsible for real destruction in the modern history of the volcano.

  3. Craters Silvestri of Mount Etna

    The lunar side of the mountain opens up at once, with its lava flows and its characteristic buttonhole craters, several of which caused damage within living memory.

  4. Mount Etna

    The walk gains height gradually, which lets you notice the endemic plants and the native animals, inside the woods of the high-mountain belt and out on the open ground of the most active volcano in Europe.

  5. Valle Del Bove

    The route crosses sandy desert, shallow depressions and the clumps of vegetation that manage to hold on in lava desert, until it reaches the Valle del Bove, the largest and most imposing caldera depression on the mountain. From there the view runs a long way: the summit area with its active craters, the Ionian Sea and the coast where cities of Greek origin were founded, Calabria across the water, the Tyrrhenian, and on a clear day the Strait of Messina.

  6. Mount Etna

    The guide calls this section the soft challenge. In several passages you sink to the leg in very fine lava sand, which is the most physical way to grasp how much of it the volcano throws out when it goes into paroxysm.

  7. Finally

    The last stage descends into a lava flow cave formed during an eruption, entered with a caving helmet and torches. Inside, the subject is how lava moves underground, along with the myths and the historical uses these caves have had.
