Along the way, seize the opportunity to capture some memorable photographs of the scenic landscape.

From there, ascend via cable car up to 2,500 metres and then board a 4x4 off-road vehicle to reach the authorized crater zones at approximately 2,900 metres. Accompanied by licensed guides from the Italian Alpine Club, you will be able to safely admire the summit craters within the designated security area. This immersive experience provides a fascinating insight into one of nature's most powerful forces.
