Etna tour from Syracuse with private driver
Overview
The "Etna Tour from Syracuse" experience will begin with the pick-up at the structure that hosts you. Once you reach the Rifugio Sapienza (1920 meters above sea level), you will have two opportunities: you can choose whether to go for a simple trekking along one of the Paths of the Etna Park, up to 2000 meters or, alternatively, you can choose the "Etna high altitude" option .
In this second case, with extra costs to be paid locally, you will reach an altitude of 2504 meters using the Etna cableway and with special 4×4 off-road vehicles, you will reach an altitude of 2900 meters above sea level.
After leaving the Sapienza Refuge, the tour will continue in Zafferana Etnea: the city of honey. Here, you can taste typical local products and discover the secrets of honey processing.
