Grotta del Gelo

Highlight • Cave

The Grotta del Gelo, on the northern side of Etna at 2,030 meters above sea level, is the southernmost glacier in Europe, known for its perennial ice maintained by unique climatic conditions.

Rifugio La Nave

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The bivouac located on level - 1 compared to the refuge is dirty, messy and poorly looked after. There is a fountain with non-drinkable water.
