All this is super exciting, climbing to the top to see its craters up close and a unique viewpoint over Catania and Sicily. For a safe visit, we recommend a guided day or half-day excursion. Equip yourself with trekking shoes and a windproof jacket and explore one of the most beautiful volcanic territories in the world.

First, an essential question for those who want to visit Etna is how to dress before a hike. Answer: it depends on the season and the temperatures. If you go in winter, even in Sicily, there may be low temperatures, and on Etna, it is easy to encounter gusts of freezing wind and snowstorms.
