On this hike in the Calcarazzi Mountains, we will explore the volcanic landscapes of Mount Etna and the Sicilian coast.
Hike Details
At the designated time, we will meet at the Schiena dell'Asino parking to begin our hiking experience through the Calcarazzi Mountains.
During the 7.5-kilometre (4.6-mile) trek, we will circle the Bove Valley and reach the craters in the Calcarazzi Mountains, formed after the volcanic eruption in December 1991.
We will first walk under the shade of pine trees, and as we navigate some curves, a view of Sicily's southeastern coastline will present itself. Photo opportunities will be provided.
We will reach the peak of the Schiena dell'Asino route to admire the Bove Valley below, a significant 8-kilometre (5-mile) geological depression made of volcanic sand.
After taking in these views, we will reach an altitude of 2245 metres (7365 feet) before heading inland towards the Calcarazzi Mountains.
This route will lead us to the Silvestre Superiore crater for another scenic view. We will then descend to the Sapienza refuge and return to our initial meeting point, completing the hike in a total of 4-5 hours.
