BÙUM is an explosion of emotions
BÙUM is the onomatopoeia of a volcanic explosion, the sound of an emotion that sends you soaring. It's the passion of a group of guides who dream of rumbles, lava flows, and eruptions at night. It's the crunch of boots on pyroclasts, leading you to the summit. BÙUM is the moment you make it, the sound of your success.
We are BÙUM, want to be a part of it?
Who we are
We are Alessio, Daniele, Paolo, Mirko, and Sammy: a team of enthusiasts and specialized volcanological guides dedicated to accompanying you on volcanoes. Our goal is to leave you with an indelible memory and gift you a special day, far from the city's chaos.
We have combined our diverse and complementary skills to realize a dream: to introduce Etna and other Italian volcanoes through our eyes, our passion, and our knowledge.
Our home: Rifugio Citelli
To fully live our passion, we have decided to manage Rifugio Citelli, the only operational CAI refuge on the north side of Etna. We want to offer you a 360-degree experience of this place that's so dear to us.
We believe in evenings spent by a fireplace, talking about volcanology, paroxysms, and eruptions. We believe that time is the most precious gift for those who want to truly know Etna. We believe in transparency and the quality of our craft. For us, Etna is more than a job: it's the most important message we want to convey to those who choose us.
