How it works ?

Imagine the moment the helicopter blades begin to spin, the adrenaline kicks in, and the Sicilian landscape slowly falls away beneath your feet.
Welcome aboard an extraordinary and exclusive journey, designed for those who want to experience the thrill of flying above Europe’s highest active volcano.
Your private adventure begins at the Fiumefreddo di Sicilia helipad, just a stone’s throw from Taormina, where the team welcomes you with an elegant check-in and a complimentary welcome drink.
From that moment on, the Airbus H125 is entirely yours and your companions’: no other passengers on board, just absolute comfort and 360-degree panoramic views.

As you take to the skies, the landscape transforms before your eyes, revealing a breathtaking contrast of colours and terrain that can only be appreciated from above:

• Mountain Slopes and Historic Lava Flows: Fly over the northern slopes above Piedimonte Etneo and Linguaglossa, where lush green conifer forests meet the dark traces of ancient lava flows stretching towards the villages.

• The Summit Craters: Climb towards Piano Provenzana and the Bottoniera, where vegetation gives way to the black volcanic landscape. At an altitude of 3,500 metres, take in the breathtaking sight of Etna’s smoking craters, with panoramic views across Sicily, the Aeolian Islands, and the coast of Calabria.

• A Scenic Descent: Continue towards Rifugio Sapienza, the iconic Silvestri Craters, the majestic Valle del Bove, and the 1992 lava flows near Zafferana Etnea, with the sparkling blue of the Gulf of Catania as your backdrop.
