Command the Volcano from Above
Get ready for Sicily's most exclusive experience: a private helicopter tour over Etna. Leave the mainland behind and soar through the skies to admire Europe's active giant from a privileged perspective, reserved for a few.

Departing from the private helipad of Fiumefreddo, you'll fly over thousand-year-old lava flows that contrast with the green of the pine forests and the blue of the Ionian Sea. You'll reach 3,500 m to observe the smoking Summit Craters, the spectacular Valle del Bove and, depending on your chosen route, the pearl of Taormina or the magical Aeolian Islands.
