A 4x4 mini-bus takes the scenic route from Linguaglossa to a 3000m altitude. Here, there is a new observatory which replaced the one destroyed by lava in 1971. From here there is a fabulous view and the more adventurous visitor can walk to further heights. The route taken can alter depending on the latest outward signs given by the volcano. On the return journey, there is an opportunity to stop at 2440m and take a look at the craters that were the cause of the eruption here in 1809.
