L'Etna è un mondo e c'è moltissimo da fare e da vedere, varrebbe la pena passare una settimana esplorando i suoi versanti, i paesi etnei, degustando le specialità, i vini passeggiando o andando in bici., a cavallo ...infinite le possibilità.
Se siete con la vostra macchina andate a Linguaglossa, salite da Piano Provenzana e poi comprate il biglietto per salire con le jeep fin quasi al bordo del cratere centrale. E' spettacolare.
Se invece siete a piedi e non volete spendere molti soldi e siete dei camminatori, alla stazione centrale di Catania parte un bus della Etna Trasporti alle 08,15 per il piazzale sud (Rifugio Sapienza) una volta arrivati (verso le 10) prendete la funivia (€ 30 a persona, andata e ritorno) e dall'arrivo della funivia proseguite a piedi fin dove ce la fate ma senza avventurarvi dove capita...TENETE SEMPRE PRESENTE CHE SIETE SU UN VULCANO ATTIVO.....andate all'affaccio della Valle del Bove se il tempo è bello, la vista è mozzafiato. Il bus riparte dal piazzale verso le 16 (informatevi prima di scendere) . Se avete domande o curiosità contattatemi, è difficilissimo dare tutte le informazioni dal blog.

When you come to Catania for sure you won't miss Mount Etna. It is a must in the journey. It is impossible to talk about this mountain in a blog and so I will give you here just some useful information about how to organize your excursion to Mt Etna. First of all check the weather conditions and if possible do not go with wind or rain unless you have no other choice. It is true that being a very high mountain the weather may change quickly but it would be better to choose a sunny day. There are many possibilities for the excursions, ask where you are staying for a typical tour which costs about 40€ or, if you prefer (and this would be much better) ask for a private tour that will be scheduled according with your wishes . If you want you can contact me and I will give you more suggestions or contact with expert and qualified people who can take you showing the best of this territory. Of course this will be more expensive but it is worth doing it. There is so much to do and to see and it is almost impossible if you are on your own . It is a territory full of beautiful landscapes, food, wine ...endless possibilities
If you are with your own car go to Linguaglossa and Piano Provenzana, than buy the ticket for the jeep to go to the edge of the main crater ...it is fabulous.
If you have no car and do not want to spend too much money, the cheapest way is the take the bus from the railway station square in Catania (Etna Trsporti) that leaves every day at 08,15 a.m. and once at the Rifugio Sapienza you can take the cable car (30€ both way) and at the arrival take a walk and go to the edge of the Valle del Bove or up to the craters according with your physical shape. Do not go just anywhere and remember that YOU ARE ON AN ACTIVE VOLCANO and not a simple mountain so follow the advises and respect the interdictions. The bus normally leaves at 4 p.m. but always ask the driver.
If you need more information you can contact me through the blog.
