Citelli Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In contrast to the fair atmosphere at the Refugio Sapienza the Refugio Citelli is pleasantly quiet. You also get an excellent espresso, coke and water of course and the view over the coast to the Mediterranean is great.

The hike includes lunch and plenty of breaks. We did it with teenagers aged 13 and 16.

What a spectacular tour, a must-do for the east side of the volcano. It's only 6km, but it's a real challenge. Almost 600 meters of elevation gain, but with a wonderful, walkable lava cave, a fantastic ridge path, and a huge tuff field downhill. I highly recommend doing the tour clockwise.

A breathtaking tour, even the start, steep and on loose lava gravel, but the climb is worth it. The view into the Valle del Bove from the Serra Della Concazze and Serracozzo is a dream. The camera doesn't really capture the vastness, size, and depth.

Here we were able to …
