The starting point is Piano Provenzana<\/strong> 1800 mt on the north side of Etna, then we will reach the path of Monte Nero built inside the eruptive fracture of October 27, 2002 that destroyed the tourist resort of Piano Provenzana and on the lava flows of the eruption of 1923. Past the lava flows, we will be greeted by the magnificent beech forest of Timpa Rossa, where we will stop at the homonymous refuge. Past the refuge, we will walk on lava flows dating back to more recent eruptive activities such as that of February – March 1947 and ancient occurred between 1614 and 1624 where you can see spectacular volcanic morphologies to slabs and ropes, typically called pahoehoe from Hawaiian and fascinating globular shapes so as to be called “Mountains of the Dead<\/strong>“, These lava formations are also called “Dammusi<\/strong>“, Arabic name that means: ceiling – cover.\u00a0Reached the Cave of Frost 2030mt<\/strong> enter to admire the grandeur, beauty, but especially the uniqueness of the ice that occupies the interior all year round, sometimes forming real stalactites and stalagmites.\u00a0The return will be made along the same route up to Piano Provenzana, except for any evaluations at the discretion of the guide with return to the Refuge Ragabo<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
