We will ascend by 4x4 vehicles along the scenic road of Etna North up to 2800m. From here, an easy trek will take us to the Belvedere di Pizzi Deneri (2830m) to admire the view of the Summit Craters and the Ionian Sea. We will then visit the craters of the 2002 eruption, which destroyed Piano Provenzana, before returning.
