Hiking

The Santa Barbara refuge is located in the Etna Park, immersed in a suggestive landscape of woods and lava flows. Recently renovated, it has a fireplace with a wood reserve and can be used as a bivouac. It is an excellent starting point for excursions around the volcano.

There you can also stay overnight if you register, but you can also just take a nice rest.
