Description

Would you like to climb and ski on a living mountain? Then join me for a 4-day ski touring adventure on Mount Etna in Italy.

Mount Etna (3326m) is an active stratovolcano in Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, and the highest mountain in Italy south of the Alps. Since 2013, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On this 4-day ski tour, we will climb Mount Etna and enjoy some awesome powder descents. The breathtaking scenery will amaze you: the black-coloured lava rocks and the green pinewoods contrast with the deep-blue of the Mediterranean sea!

Furthermore, you will be able to taste the flavors of Sicilian cuisine and learn some of the history of the region, from the Greeks to the Baroque.

Keep in mind that this tour requires a good alpine skiing level and a good fitness condition.

If you want to live an amazing winter adventure in Sicily, please contact me. Let’s enjoy an unforgettable ski touring experience together on Mount Etna!

Bernhard

Trip and guide were superb! Two things that should have been better: 1. I missed a more detailed describtion with an itinerary - I started the trip without exactly knowing what the plan is, since there are several options of doing the via delle Bocchette. 2. platform of explore-share: Before doing any booking I always have questions and want to clarify or specify things. But your platform seems to know only booking or not booking, although there is the questions/inquery button. Even when using this you're harrassed with booking reminders and your questions doesn't get answered! I don't know how often I stopped the booking process because of that! It just doens't help too much, when you're only able to get your answeres after the booking! Please, please make that better!

Our guide Renzo went above and beyond! He adapted perfectly to our level of experince and fitness, took us on an amazing scramble around thr mountains, and even took lots of photos and made coffee for us!

Richard

A very interesting tour of Piz Bernina with a mixture of snow/glacier and rock climbing. Definitely not easy though and requires a good head for heights. Renzo is a very good guide and has an excellent knowledge of the area and the climbing sections. As a result, we were able to quickly climb the final section from the hut and had the summit all to ourselves.
