It is obligatory to go to the ticket booth before entering path n.5. to go through the path you will need the obligatory accompanying of the alpine and volcanologist guides of the Campania region. The climb proceeds smoothly for roughly 800m and offers beautiful views one after another.
The vision is on the valley of the giant, which becomes yellow in spring due to the presence of gorses. The valley separates the great cone from the ancient caldera of the top, featuring the imposing “cognoli” of Sant’Anastasia (1086 mt), Punta del Nasone (1132 mt), all the way to the cognoli of Ottaviano (1112 mt).
