Further information
We are on the north-east side of mount Etna between the Alcantara Valley and the Nebrodi mountains, with an amazing view of the Ionian coast, 40 kilometers far from Taormina. If you are looking for some activities to discover the wonderful Alcantara gorges too, here is the Body Rafting or the Alcantara Quad Tour. But now let's describe the Etna Family Experience:
Easy and not challenging trail for those not used to taking long walks or for those with children. The first part will bring you to the middle of the immense eruptive fracture of 2002; This is a split in the ground opened after one of the bigger eruptions of the last 100 years. During the second stage of the trail, you will walk along a volcanic path runs on the crest of the fracture until reach the craters. The climb is short and once on the top, the trail goes right on the edge of the craters. From the highest peak you will take a stunning panoramic view of the Ionian sea, something very beautiful that only nature can arouse. The third part of the Etna tour is a caving session during which you will walk inside a lava tube discovering some particular geological phenomena; the exploration will be made in full safety with helmets and torches provided by the guide.
This Etna short hike it's a perfect choice for family with children want to experience a day in contact with nature. The duration of the walk is approximately 1h 30min.
