The “highlight” of our trip! - We chose the helicopter flight over Etna directly on the “etna3340” website: it was a very, very good choice!! Our contact by email (in French) was Antonio: he gave us all the information and information necessary to schedule / adjust our 20-minute flight from the heliport (a secure area at 600m altitude, on the north-facing slope). is 35 minutes by car from Giardini-Naxos where we had our hotel).
We were really enchanted by this flight with the pilot, Piero, who speaks French and gave us information about Etna throughout the journey...it was magical and above all...to see the smoking craters beneath snow: under a clear blue sky on this morning of April 25, 2024....a dream come true!! Thanks to the whole team !!
