Me and my daughters have always talked about going up Mount Etna, thanks to your video we know it's more possible to go and and a budget 😊

2023 prices: parkİng € 7, Gondola return € 50, snow-cat-bus € 39.
Last gondola 15:50 and last snow-cat-bus about 2 hours before that -- so get there early!
Not busy in March but still snow on the ground and wet underfoot due to running water from the snow-melt.
Budget option: go to the Silvestri craters, which are a 5 min walk from the road at the car park level.

I went there 2 days ago there but didn't go much high cuz I got my 2 kids with me.i'm thinking to visit it again with my friends and this video was very informative to me.
Grazie mille.

Thank you! Very informative and succinct video!

Very well explained Stefano. We are going there this summer, (but not all the way up to the peak) on a guided tour, but knowing now that there is a bus option after the Gondola makes me rethink that we might choose to go all the way to the top anyway. All depends if we find such a tour which offers the bus option after leaving the Gondola and not just trekking.

Thank you for sharing. 🙏 Really adventure dangerous in the same time... But still inspire lots of people around the world.
I would really visit STROMBOLI ISLAND - maybe in 2025..

Hey, mate. Thanks for the info. What would you suggest for a father which is travelling alone with a 2, 5 yo boy?How far can I get with him without being a hassle (with probably a tour)?

[cckenhe]

Thank you. I’m choosing between summit trekking to 3350m and 3000m from the other side. The tour organizer says the scenery is quite different which makes it difficult to decide

Very informative. Thanks. Do you think reservations for gondola and vehicles are recommended in April?

[isabellnorris]

Is it necessary to reserve a guide in advance for this hike or can I just show up? Grazie

[isabellnorris]

Stefano: what is the best website to track the weather for Etna? Grazie
