Description (350 words max in 3 to 5 paragraphs)
Your LivTours Private Mount Etna Tour starts by meeting your local guide at your accommodation for an early morning pick up. Your guide will give you an overview of the day. As you make your way towards Mount Etna, you will quickly be met with beautiful natural scenery and the adventure is just beginning! You will learn how Mount Etna is indeed an active volcano with regular eruptions, as your guide showers you with information about this famous mountain. These frequent mini eruptions actually make the volcano less dangerous, so get ready for your trip to the top!
As you make your way up the mountain, you will learn about the various layers of history as mirrored in the layers of vegetation. Thanks to constant eruptions, this constantly growing mountain is completely unique to the one you will see on your next visit to Sicily.
Once you reach the midway point, where it is no longer possible to travel by car, you will get a scenic ride to a higher altitude on the mountain ski lift. Enjoy a 10 minute ride with amazing views to the next part of your adventure. When you exit the ski lift, a 4×4 Monster Truck will be waiting to take you further up the mountain, over 3000 meters above sea level, where you will meet your certified Etna mountaineer who will navigate the best path to the eye of the nearest crater. This is one of the safest, active volcanoes of Italy.
Your guide will take you on plenty of mini adventures as you head back down to the bottom of the mountain. You will get a chance to see exactly what goes on inside the volcano by entering a grotto. Now that you have explored Mount Etna, it is time to visit a winery and enjoy a bit of lunch and, of course, a wine tasting! Sit back and enjoy the scenery as you taste a selection of wines which have been carefully selected and paired with local food to give you a true taste of Sicily!
Your adventure ends with a jeep ride back to your hotel and memories to last a lifetime.
