Itinerary description
|
Trek to the top of the active Stromboli volcano: only with authorized local guides !! Mandatory boots, (helmet mask and night light provided by the organization), bring spare jersey - you sweat a lot uphill-, pile or heavy mesh (on top makes it cool), water 1.5 L.
You climb from 16.30 to 17.00 onwards ... End of excursion around 10 pm
Descent typically at night from the sandy side (better for the joints), a handkerchief in front of the mouth will be useful.
Book in advance (if there are more groups, try to leave with the first one: first you go up and the first you go down)
They are 900 meters in altitude, therefore demanding also for the heat, but the walkway is not particularly critical.
EYE AT THE TOP WHEN YOU WILL BE ON THE RINSE OF THE CRATER TO WAIT FOR THE ERUPTIONS, DO NOT WALL UP, DO NOT CLOSE TOOF ON THE EDGE: THERE ARE NO PROTECTIONS, before a step there is a gap !!!

Very nice (guided) tour up the mountain. The way up is slow to keep the group together. We enjoyed the company of a very good guide (MagmaTrek). The view at the top is spectacular and truly unforgettable: worth every step of the tour. The descent is smooth through deep sand deposits, but as one is with a group one cannot move at ones own speed making it a strenuous exercise in the end.
