“Der Ausflug zum Ätna (Sunset Tour) war definitiv ein Highlight unseres Urlaubs, den ich auf jeden Fall weiterempfehle! Wer keine allzu warme Kleidung dabei hat, sollte sich vor Ort unbedingt Kleidung ausleihen. Wir haben die Möglichkeit genutzt die tolle Aussicht zu genießen, ab…”

65 km from Catania (1h30) · 40 km from Taormina (1h15). Mareneve road through the Ragabo Pine Forest.
Compared to the south side (Rifugio Sapienza), Etna North receives fewer visitors and offers a more natural environment: recent lava flows, lava tube caves and ancient forests. The 2002 eruption's lava desert created a lunar landscape you can only cross from this side.
Access runs through Linguaglossa and the Mareneve road, which climbs through the Ragabo Pine Forest — the highest pine forest in Sicily — up to 1,800m. 1h30 from Catania, 1h15 from Taormina: the most scenic route up to the craters.
