Snowshoeing on Etna - A Walk in the Snow

11/12 February 2023
Two days on Etna wandering through the snow to have fun and meet up on the largest and wildest volcano in Europe, immersed in the white snow, among forests of birch, beech, and larch pine trees. The weekend includes two excursions: on Saturday on the south side, Monte Nero degli Zappini, and on Sunday on the north side in the area of Monti Sartorius, Rifugio Baracca, and Piano Provenzana. With our snowshoes, we will go off-trail, feeling the adrenaline as we lose ourselves within the birch, beech, and pine woods. Thanks to the snowshoes, it is possible to reach the most beautiful spots on Etna without any particular technical difficulty. Each excursion will last approximately 5/6 hours, including a lunch break, which may be spent inside an unstaffed mountain hut, warming up by the fireplace.

Fee: € 50,00, includes guide service, accident insurance, and rental of snowshoes and poles.
