In 2013, Etna was recognized as a Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO, a certificate that underlines its importance not only as a geological but also ecological and cultural. The volcano is a true treasure chest of biodiversity, hosting an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna, adapted to the particular morphology of the soil and to the various microclimates that characterize its slopes.

What makes Etna even more fascinating is its incredible diversity of landscapes. From the expanses of "sciara", that is black lava sand covering much of the surrounding territory, to the lava tunnels, that is the ancient caves created by the passage of magmatic material, Etna is a place in continuous evolution, where every corner tells the strength of the volcano. The ancient craters, a sign of past eruptions, alternate with perennial glaciers that add a fascinating contrast to the mountain landscape.

Moreover, the volcano is the scene of frequent phenomena of paroxysms, sudden eruptions that constantly modify the appearance of the landscape, creating new formations and transforming the face of this iconic mountain.

Thanks to its varied geography and its ever-changing history, Etna is the ideal destination for trekking and hiking lovers in Sicily.

Its lands offer routes ranging from quieter hikes through woods and breathtaking views, to real challenges for the most experienced hikers, who venture on active craters or along the most rugged paths. A unique experience, where nature, adventure and culture blend in a unique emotion.
