What you can expect

  • Ride the cable car up Mount Etna and enjoy a tour at the bottom of the summit craters. Explore the area in a 4x4 bus designed to manage the terrain. Step out of the bus to learn about the volcano on a short walking tour with your guide.
    Validate your QRcode at the Dedicated office, located on the left side of the “Funivia dell'Etna” ticket office (as in the picture). This access is reserved for online purchasers, allowing you to exchange your digital voucher for physical tickets.
    Your adventure begins at an altitude of approximately 6,300 feet (1.900 m) at the “Funivia dell’Etna” departure station. Reach the upper station at approximately 8,200 feet above sea level (2.500 m). In case of strong wind, your ascent will be carried out by the 4x4 buses.
    Once reaching the upper station, board a special 4x4 bus to reach the maximum summit height area allowed (approximately 9,500 feet/2.900 m). Continue your experience with an alpine-volcano guide to check out the surrounding area.
    Along with the staff, who will ensure your safety, appreciate the enchanted scenery at the bottom of the Central Crater that, with conditions of full visibility, allows you to get lost in the view of a large part of eastern Sicily. In case of snow, your ascent will be carried out with special tracked vehicles (snowcat).
    After spending about 30 minutes exploring the area, make your way back down the volcano with your round-trip ticket.

    NOTE: reductions are available for residents in Sicily at the office. Please do not purchase this ticket if you are eligible for the resident discount, as it can only be obtained by presenting a valid ID at the ticket office.
