It requires very little effort thanks to these modern cable cars, and there's even a cafe further up. Then you do a little climbing on this 45-minute round trip hike. The views are spectacular and the walk is easy enough on black cinders that were deposited here just 20 years ago in a major eruption that created several large craters you'll see. The walk reaches nearly 3000 meters, with the tall peaks towering above at 3300 meters. The temperature in November was quite pleasant, and we got to see some fresh fallen snow. “It's really worth it to do the tour up to Mount Etna. It's a beautiful bus ride. We'll see some amazing fall colors along the way too. Then a Jeep ride. Then you walk, and you get these amazing views, especially on a good day like this.” You ride in the cable car up part of the way, and then the bus takes you up the rest of the way, and then you walk. You'll be rewarded with mountain vistas and a view all the way across to the Italy mainland. In Calabria, Etna is located on the east side of Sicily, about midway between Taormina and Catania. Sicily is the southernmost part of Italy, just two miles from the mainland.
