Plan the day

Choose when and where: we suggest the departure time based on the forecast weather and daylight hours. Then the official status decides.

Day and route

The calculation uses only the model's weather and the sunset. It is not a permit to climb.

Three things not to miss

The best time is useless if the route is not accessible.

Official status

Read the latest INGV-OE bulletin and the notices in Etna today.

Access and cable car

Ordinances and cable-car schedules change with wind and activity: ask the cable car, the Park or a guide.

A qualified guide

For high altitudes and lava terrain a volcanological guide is recommended. See the route page.
