Tour of Snowy Etna and Daniele and Roberta's Last Day in Sicily

Daniele and Roberta’s Sicilian vacation is coming to an end, but they don’t want to miss the last opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the island. Early in the morning, they contact us again, brimming with enthusiasm.

“We want to make the most of this day,” says Roberta over the phone.
“Can we return to Etna? But this time, we’d like to see it in its winter attire!” adds Daniele.

With our chauffeured car rental service, we are ready to give them one last unforgettable memory: a visit to Piano Provenzana, on the northern slope of the volcano, to experience the magic of a snowy Etna.

The Tour to Etna Begins with Our Chauffeured Cars

The day starts early, under a clear sky with the outline of Etna visible in the distance. During the drive to Piano Provenzana, Marco, our driver and guide, shares some fascinating facts about the volcano.

“Etna changes its appearance every season,” explains Marco. “In winter, it becomes a perfect destination for snow lovers, with ski slopes and breathtaking views.”

“It’s amazing to think that just a few days ago, it looked completely different,” comments Roberta, gazing at the snow-covered slopes through the window.
“I can’t wait to get out of the car and breathe that crisp air,” adds Daniele.

Arrival at Piano Provenzana: A Magical Landscape

When we arrive at Piano Provenzana, the view is picture-perfect. Snow blankets the ground, trees, and lava rocks, creating a spectacular contrast with the bright blue sky.

“It feels like we’re in another world,” exclaims Roberta, excited.
“I didn’t expect to see such a different landscape on Etna,” adds Daniele, snapping photos.

Marco explains, “Piano Provenzana is the heart of Etna’s northern slope. In summer, it’s a starting point for hikes, but in winter, it transforms into a small ski resort.”

Fun in the Snow

Daniele and Roberta decide to make the most of the winter activities available at Piano Provenzana. We start with a walk near the slopes, where a lively and festive atmosphere fills the air.

“Look at those families having fun with the sleds,” says Roberta, pointing to a group of children laughing and sliding down the snow.
“We have to try it too!” exclaims Daniele without hesitation.

We rent a sled, and after some initial hesitation, they race down a slope. Their laughter echoes in the fresh, crisp air.

“This is so much fun! I can’t remember the last time I was on a sled,” says Roberta, her cheeks flushed from the cold and laughter.

Lunch with a View of Etna

After a morning of playing in the snow, we stop for lunch at one of the mountain huts in Piano Provenzana. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a large fireplace crackling in the corner of the room.

The menu features local specialties:

• A hot legume soup for Roberta.
• Polenta with sausage and mushrooms for Daniele.
• A selection of typical Sicilian desserts to finish the meal.

“Eating here with this view of snowy Etna is a unique experience,” comments Daniele, looking out the window.
“It’s the perfect way to say goodbye to Sicily,” adds Roberta, visibly moved.

A Final Walk and Farewell to the Volcano

After lunch, we take one last walk to admire the scenery. The afternoon light illuminates the snow, creating glittering reflections.

Marco points to the central crater visible in the distance: “Even in winter, Etna never stops reminding us of its power. Those smoke plumes are proof that the volcano is alive.”

Daniele and Roberta pause for a moment, silently taking in the view. “This is the memory we’ll take home,” says Daniele with a nostalgic smile.
“Sicily, we’ll be back,” adds Roberta, snapping a photo of Etna to capture the moment.

Transfer to Catania Airport

With hearts full of emotion and minds rich with memories, we leave Piano Provenzana and head to Catania’s Vincenzo Bellini Airport.

During the drive, Roberta and Daniele reflect on the highlights of their vacation.

“From the Cyclops Coast to Palermo, from Erice to today on Etna, every day has been an adventure,” says Daniele.
“And I’ll never forget the kindness and passion of the people we met,” adds Roberta.

Arriving at the airport, it’s time to say goodbye. Marco helps them with their luggage and accompanies them to the terminal entrance.

“Thank you for everything, Marco,” says Roberta. “You’ve made this vacation unforgettable.”
“It’s been my pleasure. Sicily will always welcome you back with open arms,” replies Marco with a smile.

A Goodbye, but Not Forever

Daniele and Roberta board their evening flight, taking with them not only souvenirs but also indelible memories of a land that welcomed and enchanted them.

Thanks to our chauffeured car rental service, they enjoyed every moment of their vacation in total comfort and relaxation, discovering the best that Sicily has to offer.
