Relaxed Walk on Etna: Schiena dell'Asino!

Overview of the tour in Catania

An easy, relaxing and complete walk on Etna!
The walk it is thought for the people who have A RENTED CAR, for those who don't have it, i can pick no more than 3 people in my car :)

In this quiet and very pleasant experience – also suitable for families – you can enjoy some of the most beautiful attractions of Etna: nature, amazing landscapes and the Bove Valley (a gigantic lava desert, 8 km long and 5 km wide).

First we will walk in the shade of a pine and broom wood, typical species of Etna.
At first the road will be uphill, then flat. After an hour of walking, between nature and a spectacular view on the Ionian Sea, we will reach the top of the route, at an altitude of 1970 meters. Once there, you will see an incredible landscape in front of you: Etna, the Bove Valley, the Ionian Sea and Calabria!
There, words are useless.
During the walk, I will tell you:
- how Etna was born and how it developed over the course of history;
- about Catania, its history, its culture and its connections with Etna;
- Sicily in general and all the information you need!

We meet with the cars in PANIFICIO LA FARINA ANTONY, a fantastic bakery specialized in pistacho. We meet there at 8: 30 am for the people who have the Hotel in Catania and for those who a rented car.

The walk is very easy and relaxing, and it is thought especially for the people who have A RENTED CAR.
