Hotels in Etna, Italy
Mount Etna is an active volcano on Sicily's east coast, famous for its lunar-like landscapes and rich volcanic soil that produces robust wines like Nerello Mascalese. The climate varies with altitude: you can ski on the snowy peaks from December to March, or hike the black lava fields and crater rims from April to October when temperatures range from 50°F to 80°F (10°C to 27°C) at lower slopes. In summer, explore the wineries of the Etna DOC region, or in winter, take a cable car up to 8,200 feet for snowshoeing with views of the Ionian Sea.
