Warnings
Safety is our priority.

- Pay attention to the presence of volcanic gases and the unstable nature of the terrain.
- The area is part of the summit area of Etna, a unique and spectacular landscape but also active, with all the associated natural risks.
- Always follow the guides' instructions: in case of danger, the excursion may be interrupted for safety reasons.
