This route starts from the highest part accessible by car, Piano Provenzana. We are on the northeast side of the volcanic cone. This area was equipped with a nice hotel restaurant and a ski lift. The eruption of the almost totally destroyed this area. It was rebuilt but the charm it had disappeared with that eruption. The route goes into the lava flows to reach this sequence of small cones and holes placed in line.
