What you can expect

  • As you step onto the soft carpet of needles, the forest unveils its “monuments”—centuries-old trees that have survived the volcano's fury. You will encounter:
    The Monumental Beech trees : Towering specimens like the legendary Trofa du Camperi and Fau di Sanareddu , the oldest beech trees on Etna, standing 18 metres tall and nearly 500 years old.
    The Lava Rivers: The path weaves through time, crossing the jagged, black scars of past lava flows—from the historic 1928 eruption to more recent events. Walking over these “petrified rivers” offers a stark contrast between the vibrant life of the woods and the raw, silent power of the volcano.

    After your immersion in the wild, the Rifugio Brunek appears like a welcoming sanctuary at 1,400 metres.
