The Chestnut Trek - Etna

November 05, 2023
Between October and November, we have a wonderful opportunity not only to feast on one of the most delicious fruits the autumn season has to offer, but also to discover pristine forests and green spaces. For this chestnut-picking excursion, we have chosen the most beautiful place in Sicilia: “A Muntagna”, our beloved Etna. We will be on the North-East slope for a loop hike of about 12 km, at an altitude between 1200 and 1500 meters. We will traverse corners of unique beauty, the kind that can only be fully appreciated by joining us on this wonderful day out.
