What to expect

Mount Etna

Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, dominates Sicily’s landscape and is renowned for its geological significance and dynamic eruptions. The volcano’s slopes are dotted with historic lava flows, forests, and small towns shaped by centuries of volcanic activity.

Features

• Aerial views from 3,500 meters: Experience panoramic sights of Etna’s summit, craters, and the surrounding Sicilian countryside from a unique vantage point.

• Lava flows and volcanic landscape: Spot ancient and recent lava flows, observing the dramatic contrast between black volcanic rock and green forests.

• Descent to Sapienza ski resort: Land at the renowned Sapienza ski resort, a hub for mountain excursions and the starting point for many Etna adventures.

• Small group setting: Fly with a maximum of five participants, ensuring clear views and a personal experience with your expert pilot.

Lift off on a 30 minute helicopter flight that takes you high above Mount Etna, giving you a rare bird’s eye look at its craters and lava fields.
Join a small shared group of up to five guests and board your helicopter for a smooth ascent that quickly carries you above the volcano’s slopes.
Your flight reaches about 3,500 meters so you can take in sweeping aerial views, from Etna’s smoking summit down to old lava flows and surrounding landscapes.
Enjoy an intimate in air experience with limited seats, clear window views, and plenty of chances to capture photos of Sicily’s most famous volcano.
