2 1st day: Monte Gemmellaro- Nature path of Monte Nero of Zappini It shall start the day with a simple trip to visit Craters of the 1886 eruption, eruption that threatened the country of Nicolosi. Departing from Bottara Plan, we head towards the gate of the State Property Monte Council, passing the gate, after 100 m, you will arrive to a crossroads where we continue straight leaving on the right the Monte Council (where there is also a closed retreat of Forestry). Immediately before us reveals the lava of 2001 snake cross the road. Under the lava of 2001, darker, are complemented those of 1886 (which originated Monte Gemmellaro and Monte Grosso) and of 1892 originated from the Silvestri Craters. After a short climb, the road get to Monte Grosso (1383 m above sea level) covered by a mixed forest. Bypassed the south of the mountain, we reach a small shelter of Forestry where there is a small picnic area. From here it is visible, especially on sunny days, the Bay of Catania. Continuing towards north, across the forest barrier, you continue to rise between the lava flows to the base of Mount Gemmellaro where you can see some eruptive vents of From here, looking south, you can see a huge gully lava. The vegetation of the mountain consists of pines and junipers. The view is breathtaking. To the south we can very well distinguish the sharp contrast between the oldest lava
3 flows now colonized by moss and lichen and the darkest of We will follow the same route in reverse to return to the starting point.. Difficoult: Easy Excursion lenght : 3 hrs approximately Nature of the route : Forest trail, path, free trace Distance: 5 km approximately Difference in level : 150 metres At the end of this path we will move to reach an altitude of 1700 m. by cars or minivan. There we ll walk along a very simple path suitable to all, for a peaceful walk through ancient lava flows and larch forests. The dialect name of these trees is "Zappini", hence the name of the mountain that is covered by them. It has been the first nature trail officially created by the Etna Park. The original route was interrupted by the pouring of 2002 and a modification has been made. The plot entrance is located along the SP 92 from Nicolosi to Rifugio Sapienza. A few kilometers before the refuge,on the left, you can see the indication for the astronomical observatory. Take this road and after a few hundred meters away,on the right side, there will be the path entrance, marked by a large stone on which is written "Etna Park". We enter the path along the dirt road. On the right you can observe the old lava flows, among the many that overlap in this area, inclusive that of On that occasion it has been made the first attempt by man to divert the lava flow using huge blocks of stone. At the end of the path it will be possible to observe the quarry from which the material was extracted. Immediately upon entering, you note a flag of Italy donated by President Ciampi and placed on the Mont Blanc, the Gran Sasso and Mount Etna, to unite ideally the three highest mountains in the north, center and Southern Italy. We continue on the dirt road for a few meters and we meet a paved road. We continue walking on the left and we encounter the first observation point (hereinafter P.O.), from which you can see to the north of Monte Nero Zappini. The second P.O. has as an object the flows from different periods overlapped, while the third P.O. is a hornitos : these are structures created by gases escaping from the casting below. We continue along the trail and we meet a crossroads. We go to the right (going straight towards building we will return quickly to the beginning of the path) and we meet the P.O. 4, a fossilized tree trunk by the heat of the lava. Here, on the right, you can see the old route which unfortunately was cut from a casting. Let us go down to the left and begin the descent towards the reservoir and the sheepfold. We follow the dirt road until we reach another fork, which is the reunion with the old layout. From here on, in every crossroads you will always go to the LEFT. We enter
4 into the woods, until we arrive to another fork. In this stretch in the woods is the entrance of the botanical "New Gussonea garden" (it is possible to visit it, but not on public holidays) and a variant of the track leading to the tree nursery within an oak forest, a kind of this oak Etna. Now let's take a last look at the craters colonized by the first trees and flows before returning at the beginning of the trail. Start: Table land Milia, Etna south, m slm Top Arrival: Plateau Monte Vetore, Etna south, m slm Time of total walk: 3 hours, approximately Difficulty: easy Distance covered: 5 km Drop: 80 mts climb up, 70 mts climb down. 2nd day Hiking on the Schiena dell Asino (Back of the Donkey) until the crater at m. slm.
5 Breakfast at the hotel. The "Back donkey" is the easiest route to take to admire the spectacle of the Valle del Bove. The entrance is located along the SP92 towards the Rifugio Sapienza Zafferana, at the first intersection (the road 401 for Pedara). We enter now in a pine forest, walking on a street with stony bottom. This is the most challenging part of the track, with a slope that exceeds 10% in some places; the rest of the trail is dirt without steep slopes. The route continues towards the valley, to the right there is the city of Catania, in front we see the Ionian Sea, while every now and then on the left branch of the steep, tracks leading further up towards the Montagnola. Continuing along the path, we reach the edge of the Valle del Bove; as mentioned, this is one of the most easily accessible places for those who want to closely observe the eruptions that flow into the valley. The track is suitable for everyone, it doesn t need any special equipment, the trail is passable in every season unless there is snow. With torches you can follow quite easily the trail at sunset, so you can observe the lava in the night and be able to return without difficulty. Start: SP 42 Etna south, m.1860 slm Top Arrival: 2050 m slm Time of total walk: 3 hours, approximately Difficulty: easy Distance covered: 3 km Drop: 200 mts climb up, 200 mts climb down.
6 3rd day Reaching the top crater of Etna From Rifugio Sapienza Breakfast at the hotel. We will take the cable car (with one way ticket) to get to the Montagnola. Here we will enter on a dirt track that will take us to the summit of Etna zone. Along the trail we will see: Mount Escriva, a crater formed during the eruption of It will be really interesting the visit of the fracture along the crater. We climb up on top of the mountain to see the Cisternazza, a crater depression that fills with water during the thaw period. Left behind us upstream Escriva, we will continue towards the Torre del Philosopher area, where with the help of a volcanic guide, we ll visit the summit area. We ll walk especially on the ring Barbagallo craters. (A visit to the summit craters, at 3310 altitude, will be allowed only when it is not volcanic activity). Then we ll to return near the Montagnola. Here, rather than take the cable car, we will face a very steep descent but also extremely fun. We will enter into a gully of volcanic sand. We go down into the valley, towards the craters Silvestri. Here, in the homonymous restaurant, we ll tast a delicious typical lunch. In the afternoon, return to Catania airport and departure..
