Zafferana Etnea is one of the municipalities in the regional park of Mount Etna, and its territory extends up to the summit of the volcano, including landscapes of incredible beauty, from dense forests to vast lava deserts. Its privileged position, at about 600 meters above sea level on the southeast side of Mount Etna, makes it an excellent starting point for excursions and guided tours of the volcano, thanks to the road that connects it to the tourist station of Rifugio Sapienza (Nicolosi) on one side, and to Piano Provenzana (Linguaglossa) on the other. The advantages of choosing Zafferana Etnea as a base point are multiple; the town is located in a pleasant position for nature lovers and tranquility seekers and is not far from major cities such as Catania (25 km), Taormina (37 km), Acireale (14 km), Messina (80 km), Siracusa (90 km), Enna (108 km), Ragusa (128 km), Caltanissetta (133 km), Agrigento (186 km), Palermo (231 km), and Trapani (384 km).
