Easy
Departure from Milo (Catania)
A gentle wander north of Etna (a few kilometres at low altitude), offering a glimpse of the terrain and its vegetation. The eruption that created the seven Sartorius crates dates back to the late nineteenth century, nature has partially returned to this area.

Departure from Nicolosi (Catania)
Ascent of Etna, on its southern face, from the town of Nicolosi Nord. The departure point is at the foot of the cable car. The hike avoids the minibus route as much as possible.
Direct ascent to the cable car station. Then on to the first crater (accessible by minibus). Please note: from this point (1), a guide is mandatory.
The return journey was made via the same route (even though I could have taken alternative routes).
