Piano Provenzana

Highlight • Volcano

Piano Provenzana, located at 1,810 meters above sea level. on the northern side of Etna, it is an important ski resort in the municipality of Linguaglossa. Unlike the southern side, it offers an environment similar to an Alpine landscape, immersed in a pine forest, overlooking the Ionian Sea and the Strait of Messina. It was hit by the 2002 eruption and subsequently renovated.

Central Crater

Highlight • Volcano

The shape of the crater changed dramatically after the 2024 eruption. Currently, the hike ends at this point because the terrain has become impassable.

Etna Crater

Highlight • Volcano

There are many craters at the summit. Since the current crater has been working, things have become quiet in this crater.

Northeast Crater, Mount Etna

Highlight • Volcano

After the 2024 eruption, the mountain grew by a good 80 meters at this point. At the summit, there are small, hot vents where you can warm your hands in the steam 😉

Piano delle Concazze

Highlight • Viewpoint

Interesting rock formation, supposedly reminiscent of piano keys. To me, it reminds me more of organ pipes.
