Beautiful lava tube (cave) you can go a few hundred through the cave deeper and deeper it's worth it😉

What a wonderful natural phenomenon! An old lava tunnel with an easily accessible entrance (you have to bend down a bit), but inside, you're amazed at how large it is. It's only about 10-15 meters long, then it gets narrower and darker. Since a hole has been cut into it at the top, it's a true highlight, a play of light and shadow.

Lava Tube Cave, Parco dell'Etna

Highlight • Cave

Dangerous in winter, it gets icy and is very steep, without proper shoes with studs you risk slipping into the void. There were 3 of us and we formed a chain.

From the Citelli refuge to the Serracozzo cave the route has a simple difficulty except for some more complicated sections. Halfway there is a stream that flows on a rock face to cross. Dangerous in winter, ice forms and it is very steep, without suitable shoes with studs you risk slipping into the void. There were 3 of us and …
