Gruppo Guide Alpine Etna Sud
About
We are the historic group of Etna guides. We have been accompanying hikers and visitors to the highest active volcano in Europe since 1804. Our excursions allow you to spend an unforgettable day discovering old craters, breathtaking views and unspoiled nature. We offer different types of excursions, for those who want to relax and enjoy a breathtaking panorama it will be possible to take the Etna cableway and the Jeeps to climb up to 3000 meters (Torre del Filosofo), while for the more adventurous there will be the possibility to trekking and immerse yourself in nature, discovering the active summit craters, or the Etna 3000 excursion, the immense Valle del Bove or sunset excursions.
