Full description of the Etna North bus tour<\/h3><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Departure and arrival at an altitude of 2850mt<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Starts every day with a bus from Caff\u00e8 Bellini bar at 8:00am (Corso Sicilia 14) \/ Bar Naf\u00e8 at 8:30am (Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII 6).<\/p>\nArrival at Piano Provenzana (1900mt), north side of Etna, and with special latest generation 4\u00d74 off-road vehicles, Ambiental class Euro 5 and Euro 6 authorized by the Etna National Park Institution, you\u2019ll reach 2850mt.<\/p>\n
The excursion towards the Summit area, assisted by alpine and volcanological guides authorized by the law, will start from 1800mt altitude (Piano Provenzana) and will continue on the panoramic path that, amongst old craters and recent lava flows, will allow us to reach the Volcanological Observatory at 2850mt.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Pizzi Deneri<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>Once the visit finishes, we\u2019ll leave again towards the volcanological observatory at Pizzi Deneri, 2818mt altitude. After leaving the off-road vehicle, together with our guides, we\u2019ll start a brief trekking of 15 minutes that will lead us at the promontory of Pizzi Deneri at 2850mt.<\/p>\nMoreover, it is possible to observe, from a distance and in absolute safety, the summit craters that dominate the majestic Bove Valley, which has oftentimes been an important protection shield for the villages at the bottom of the summit craters during multiple lava flows.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>The Buttonhole<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nAfter entering again the vehicles, the next stop will be the eruptive theatre of October 2002 with its characteristic buttonhole craters. After reaching our destination at 1900mt more or less, we\u2019ll start the trekking on lava flows and explosive products. The circular path will allow you to walk on the edge of the craters and admire their morphology called \u201cbuttonhole\u201d typic of the lateral eruption of the volcano.<\/p>\n
After reaching the top (2050mt more or less), it\u2019ll be possible to enjoy the eruptive theatre and the lava flow that destroyed the touristic station of Piano Provenzana. There\u2019ll be then a brief descending on a long sandy slope to reach the off-road vehicles available to go back to Piano Provenzana<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
