Ice axe, crampons and the desire
to discover and admire one of the most charming
grottos on Etna in all its beauty. It is made even
more picturesque due to its ice stalagmites and
stalactites ... these are the fundamental elements
of choosing this excursion…
Leaving PIANO PROVENZANA you will use a S.T.A.R. 4X4
to arrive to the craters of 1809 at 2,400 m. From
here you will walk along the fracture of 1947 by
crossing the spectacular, evocative lava formations
of the SCIARA DEL FOLLONE with typically pahoehoe
morphology which is uncommon for Etna and which
dates back to the eruption of 1614-24. At a height
of 2,000 m you arrive to GROTTA DEL GELO, a once
flowing lava grotto with a perennial glacier. Once
you visit the grotto you will continue onwards to
PASSO DEI DAMMUSI. Here, you will stop to visit the
GROTTA DEI LAMPONI, a spectacular tunnel of flowing
lava. The excursion ends along the forest road until
you reach the refuge of “RAGABO” at 1,420 m.
