Description

Begin your journey in the coastal town of Riposto, where you'll board the famous Littorina railcar with your small group. As the train chugs uphill through vineyards and ancient volcanic fields, enjoy panoramic views of Etna's majestic peak. Stop in Linguaglossa, a picturesque village nestled on the northern slopes of Etna. Accompanied by your guide, take a relaxing stroll through its quaint streets, admire local murals, and discover why this area is famous for its rich volcanic soil, hazelnut orchards, and Etna DOC wines. Jump back on the train to reach Randazzo, the medieval town closest to Mount Etna's summit. Miraculously spared by numerous eruptions over centuries, Randazzo is famous for its unique architecture. Walk through its historic center to admire incredible monuments built completely from dark lava stone, including the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, the Church of San Martino, and the Church of San Nicola. After taking in the history, sit down at a handpicked local restaurant in Randazzo. Indulge in a rich, hearty menu featuring regional specialties—such as fresh hand-rolled pasta, local cheeses, wild mushrooms, and Etna wine—prepared using long-standing Sicilian traditions. In the early afternoon, board the return Littorina from Randazzo. Relax as the train winds back down toward the coast, arriving back at Riposto Station, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Mount Etna’s culture and flavor.
