About Nicolosi
Nicolosi sits on Etna's southern flank, the last town before the road climbs into black lava fields and ash slopes — which is exactly why photographers base themselves here. The light changes fast at altitude, and guided treks such as Etna: Trekking to 3,000m with Drone Video, Pick-up from Catania & Expert Guides put you on the crater rim with a guide who knows where the steam plumes catch the sun, while Mount Etna Sunrise Trekking with a Volcanology Guide trades the crowds for first light over the summit.

Frequently asked questions
The lava fields and belvedere points along the southern Etna road above Nicolosi give wide views over the Ionian coast at sunset. Higher up, the summit area around 3,000m is where the light is most dramatic, with smoking craters and ash cones catching low sun. Sunrise treks are the best way to reach these spots before the day-trippers arrive.
