Meet your guide and depart from Piazza San Vincenzo 2 hours before sunset.
After a safety briefing, begin your hike from a nature trail that takes you to 400 meters, the maximum altitude allowed with a Volcanology guide. Enjoy the spectacular view of the summit craters and the Sciara del Fuoco. During the trek, take breaks to admire the views and also visit the island's old cemetery. Cross the Mediterranean scrub, accompanied by the constant view of Strombolicchio.
Upon the panoramic arrival on the Sciara del Fuoco, admire the sunset that colors the Aeolian archipelago red and observe the volcanic eruptions that illuminate the night sky. Return downhill in the dark, equipped with torches, to the starting point.
