Etna Guides Strike Over Volcano Tour Rules
Update: 2026-01-08
Description
Mount Etna Guides Strike Over Strict New Volcano Tour RulesGuides leading tours up Mount Etna in Sicily are on strike for the first time in decades due to new restrictions imposed by local authorities in Catania. These rules, implemented after a series of eruptions on Christmas Eve, limit close-up views of the lava flows and have left guides out of work. The measures include banning excursions after dusk, enforcing a two-hundred-meter distance from the flows, and strictly limiting group sizes to ten people. Guides argue these measures are unnecessary as the lava moves slowly and theyve safely guided people for years. The strike comes as Mount Etna, Europes tallest and most active volcano, continues to erupt, drawing hikers and sightseers from afar. Guides hope for a deal soon that safeguards their jobs while keeping visitors safe.
