Take the tour ×  I would really like to see a volcano in Italy.
The world-famous Vesuvius would be a good choice, but wikitravel
describes it as "congested by pensioners", which is a no-go for
me. There is the big Etna (>3000m) on the south, but I am not
sure whether you can ascent it without a guide, which would be
an another no-go.  What are another beautiful, big, hikable, off
the beaten track volcanoes in Italy, that are worth visiting? By
beautiful I mean a lot of wild nature and that the rocks should
expose their volcanic origin. It should feel like a volcano, not
like just one another mountain, shouldn't it?  share|improve
this question Note that Etna is the only Volcano in Italy that
meets you height criterium:

The relative height should matter.. –  mithy May 22 '12 at 13:29
It is really worth going with a guide. You'll be able to see a
lot more. Why is it a "no go"? –  Szabolcs
