Bubbles Under the Stars on Etna - From Sunset to Sunrise
September 17/18, 2022
The ascent at sunset allows us to experience a fascinating adventure, amidst the contrast of sunlight and the Etna landscape, which offers the opportunity to see the Nebrodi, the Tyrrhenian coast, the Aeolian Islands, the Peloritani mountains, and the Calabrian coast. We will bivouac at 2200 meters under the starry late-summer sky in an enchanting spot that allows us to watch the sunset in the West and the sunrise in the East from the same location the following morning. Behind us, we have 2 of the summit craters, the North East and the Central crater, which, with the reddish light of sunset and sunrise, illuminate everything with stunning shades of color.
On Sunday, we will climb up to the Monte Pizzillo crater, and from there, we will take the path that leads us to the Grotta del Diavolo, one of the most majestic lava flow caves dating back to the 1614 eruption.
