Etna cable car

The Etna cable car is a popular tourist attraction located in Nicolosi, Sicily, Italy. It offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and allows visitors to explore the slopes of Mount Etna. The cable car has a long history, with the first construction starting in the late 1950s and the inauguration taking place in 1966. However, it has been affected by several eruptions over the years, with the highest section being destroyed in 1971 and the intermediate station being destroyed in 1983. The cable car has been rebuilt and reopened several times, with the current terminal station being built at an altitude of 2495 meters. Visitors can take a self-guided tour to 2500 meters or opt for a guided tour to 2900 meters or higher. The cable car is a great option for families, with a self-guided walking tour to the Silvestri craters being suitable for young kids. It is recommended to bring a jacket and comfortable shoes, as the lava rocks can be sharp
