Description

The Etna 3000 jeep tour allows you to reach about 3000m above sea level at the base of the Summit Craters of Etna. This excursion also includes the use of the services offered by the Etna Cableway (South Etna) or Etna Mobility (North Etna), not included in the price. On board our 4×4 jeeps we will arrive at the Rifugio Sapienza (Etna Sud, 2000m asl) and from here we will continue by cable car + Unimog (special 4X4 vehicles with 28 seats) up to the highest altitude accessible between 2700 and 2900 a.s.l. (depends on volcanic activity) or at Piano Provenzana (North Etna, 1800m asl) and with special 4×4 vehicles we will reach an altitude of 2850m asl. In both cases you will always be accompanied by our guides and with the help of mountain-volcanological guides we will visit the area at the base of the Summit Craters. Here the landscape is absolutely lunar, a desert of lava, lapilli and ashes (often with a few hours of life) with the majestic and active Southeast Crater in the background. Back down aboard our 4×4 jeeps we will proceed in the direction of one of the most famous lava flow caves of Etna which you will visit equipped with helmets and torches.
