It starts from Porto di Levante to enter the path flanked by green brooms and a black sandy bottom formed by ashes and lapilli. The first sensation is that of finding yourself in an environment of Dante's inferno, similar to the lunar soil. As you go up, you will be presented with a wonderful panorama with the vision of Vulcanello, Monte Saraceno, Porto di Levante, the port of Ponente, and the island of Lipari. Subsequently, the ground of the path will take on a reddish color.
Continuing, on reaching the Piano delle Fumarole, you will notice a strong smell of sulfur that comes out of the Fumaroles and a curtain of intense smoke and gas that emanates from the yellow ground. At the top, finally, the impressive Bocca del Gran Cratere will appear. Assisted by the Volcanological Guide, it is possible to go around the crater wearing masks to avoid inhaling the sulfur-laden gas.
The show that will be presented will be of indescribable beauty with the view of the bottom of the Gran Cratere, enormous "bread crust" boulders, and a breathtaking view of the entire archipelago. The descent will follow the same path as the ascent.
