What you can expect

Soar above the Etna volcano on a helicopter flight in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia. Start with some welcome drinks. After take-off, proceed to the northern side of the volcano, flying over the towns of Piedimonte Etneo and Linguaglossa.

During the ascent, admire a majestic forest of conifers and the old lava flows that descend almost to the Etna villages. As you get nearer to the peaks, fly over the ski resort of Piano Provenzana, enjoying a unique view of the flows that formed the series of craters called “la bottoniera.”

See the vegetation end and be replaced by the sciara that will lead you up to the majestic view of the summit craters. At an altitude of about 3500 meters, enjoy sweeping views of the whole of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, and Calabria.

Begin the descent along the volcano's more rugged side to reach the Sapienza ski resort. From here, soak in a view of Catania and the Gulf. Proceeding east, fly over the old, extinct Silvestri Craters before passing over the Schiena dell'asilo “donkey's back” that leads to the vast Valle del Bove.

Survey the 1992 flows that almost destroyed the village of Zafferana Etnea. After one last look at the coast between Catania and Taormina, the vineyards, and lush crops, it is time to return to the helipad. An unforgettable 30 minutes helicopter tour!
