Ascent from the Etna-nord region (Piano Provenzana(1800m) to one of the summit-craters(3320m), maybe even the highest point. Spectacluar view into the crater, but also to Sicilia. You are 3000m above the surrounding landscape!

More beautiful than from the South side, less tourists, but longer!

The track is easy, but the Etna is dangerous! Thunderstorm! Storm! Fog! Please pay attention to the safety-warnings f.e. www.vulkan-etna-update.de(in German). Takewarm and windproof clothing, cap, glasses(against the sandy wind),water. The crater is - as shown on the picture - nerved with deep gaps and gives impression of instability!

Aufstieg von der Nordseite des Ätna (Beschilderung Etna-Nord / Piano Provenzana) zu einem seiner Hauptkrater, möglicherweise derzeit der höchste Punkt. Großartige Sicht in die Krater, aber auch über Sizilien. Man ist 3200m über dem der umgebenden Landschaft!

Schöner als von der Südseite und es ist weniger los, aber länger!

Warnhinweise beachten unter vulkan-etna-update.de. Warme, winddichte Sachen, Mütze, Brille gegen Sandstaub und Wasser mitnehmen. Der Gipfelkrater ist, wie man auf dem Bild sieht, von tiefen Rissen durchzogen und macht einen instabilen Eindruck.
