Fly Over the Summit of Mount Etna and the Taormina beauties on a Helicopter Tour
A HeliSicily's helicopter tour provides an unparalleled opportunity to witness the grandeur of Europe's largest active volcano and the pearl of mediterranean sea Taormina. Located on the east coast of Sicily, Mount Etna encompasses an area of 1,190 km2 with a summit elevation of 3,403 m. Helisicily offers 35-minute helicopter flights that depart from a private helipad located in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, on the volcano's slopes, treating visitors to breathtaking aerial views of Etna's summit and active craters. The helicopter ascent commences in a fully serviced HeliSicily resort, transporting you over ancient volcanic cones and lava flows towards the summit. As the chopper navigates around the Valle del Bove, a massive caldera formed by a prehistoric eruption, glimpses of volcanic deserts and petrified forests emerge beneath the aircraft. Upon reaching the summit, billowing sulfurous fumes rising from the bowels of the Earth. Two cinder cones, the Northeast and Southeast craters, frequently erupt and modify the summit landscape. For a fleeting moment, you can peer down into the craters' depths, observing ash and gas being explosively ejected. The helicopter provides a safe vantage to witness Etna's raw power and volatility. A helicopter flight over Mount Etna offers an unforgettable encounter with one of the world's most active volcanoes. As an iconic symbol of Sicily, Etna's grandeur and beauty from the air will leave an indelible impression. By booking with Helisicily, visitors can experience the thrill of soaring over Etna's summit and gaining a newfound appreciation for the colossal forces of nature that built this volcanic edifice. The helicopter tour continues with the flight over Taormina and the breathtaking view of the Isola Bella "beautiful island" and the Greek theater.
