The Etna eruption of 2002

Among the last great events of Piano Provenzana we remember the 2002 eruption. This eruption is also called by scholars “the perfect eruption”.

On October 27, 2002, the Northeast Rift became active and formed a “bottoniera” of eruptive mouths. From here lava began to flow and quickly transformed the tourist resort of Piano Provenzana into a lava desert. Many years of history were erased in a few hours.

You are not a skier or snowboarder? No problem! Then be sure to go for a beautiful hike through the snow. Are you with children? Rent a sledge and go for a nice ride.
