Together with the climbing to the summit areas, the hike in the Pista Altomontana (High Mountain Trail), that is the tour of the Etna on foot, will imprint this unique experience in visitors' memories, an experience in contact with an extraordinary environment offering a large variety of landscapes. The ring of the Pista - developing within the state forest, along a service trail of the Azienda Foreste (Forest Department) at an average altitude of 1,750 m above sea level - surrounds the western and northern slopes of the volcano, offering hikers a fascinating view of the Etna Park's biodiversity and nature, of its forests, ancient and new lava flows, and of its most fascinating panoramic views.
