if you want to see something really different ...

....

Some useful info about Etna :

People can arrive without any problem only till the punta del Filosofo (2980m).
Hikers that want to get the summit or go out from this delimited area MUST be leaded by a guide !
(You can avoid this limit asking a special permission to the Catania department of Club Alpino Italiano )
Mountain shoes needed, the hike has a cost of 55€ (including telpher, taxi and guide.
From Punta del Filosofo to the summit you have to walk for about 1 hour and a half (difference in elevation ~ 400m)

and don't forget the Gole di Alcantara
