Starting at an altitude of about 6200* ft, at the Rifugio Sapienza, you'll catch the cable car up to 8200* ft above sea level. After, you'll trek to reach the Cratere Barbagallo, and proceed climbing to approximately 9800* ft while you admire many lava flows and the summit Craters from a privileged location.
