Itinerary: Mount Etna and the surrounding area by campervan

Pedara, Nicolosi and Zafferana Etnea

Set off from Pedara and find yourself at the foot of Europe’s tallest active volcano. Mount Etna is not just a crater — it is a world unto itself: birch forests, solidified lava flows, high-altitude vineyards where one of Italy’s finest wines is produced, and villages such as Zafferana Etnea and Nicolosi, which are filled with the scent of orange blossom and Sicilian pastries.

With a campervan, you can sleep at altitudes that would be impossible for a hotel, wake up with the volcano right before your eyes, and reach the trails in Etna National Park in just a few minutes.
