The first section is the same path leading to the "grotta del Gelo". We startfrom the barrier at the path beginning, so we already are 2km faraway from Ragabo/Brunek refuges. We walk over 2002 lava flow , crossing the stone forest . The path is really easy to walk through, we point out the following point of interest:
- Mount Rossello picnic area
- 1911 craters
- Some trees hardly challenged by mount Etna
- The fork towards Palombe grotto
- A small altar
- Femmine Grotto
- Firs "rope" lava flow
We get the Lamponi Grotto , after 6km walking. To explore the cave, leave the track and go over for a few meters, you can download the pictures with the gpx/kml track. We go right, heading refuge Santa Maria, our next step.
