Serracozzo Cave, a Volcanic Canyon in Mt.Etna
- At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Citelli Refuge car park and start a trekking route to the most important cave of Etna, Serracozzo Cave.
- We'll start walking up Etna from 1740 metres (5708 feet) until we reach 2160 metres (7086 feet) above sea level, where we'll find the entrance to Serracozzo Cave. All along the way, we'll cross the birch forests, which are characteristic of the area, and see the remains of volcanic rock.
- We'll enter Serracozzo Cave through its volcanic tunnel. Originating in 1971, this elongated lava canyon has a sheet of light that enters through a small hole in the ceiling. You'll be mesmerised by the sparkles!
- After that, we'll hike to reach the Bove Valley, specifically the Serra delle Concazze, a large 8-kilometre-long (4.9-mile) depression on the eastern side of Etna. There, we'll stop to rest and recover your strength with the food you brought.
- After walking along the Bove Valley, we'll return to the meeting point after 4/5 hours of hiking.
