Excursion to the summit of Mount Vesuvius follwed by lunch and winetasting.
The height of the main cone has been constantly changed by eruptions but is 1,281 m (4,202 ft) at present. Monte Somma is 1,149 m (3,770 ft) high, separated from the main cone by the valley of Atrio di Cavallo, which is some 3 miles (5 km) long. The slopes of the mountain are scarred by lava flows but are heavily vegetated, with scrub and forest at higher altitudes and vineyards lower down. Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano, although its current activity produces little more than steam from vents at the bottom of the crater.

  • quand jamais tu visite cette partie du monde encore une fois, je suis sûr que le Vésuve sera toujours là. Comme pour le vin, je vais boire un verre avec toi la prochaine fois que tu viens de plus.

  • Superbe vidéo, d'autant plus que je n'ai pas pu aller sur le sommet quand j'étais à Naples.

    On ne peut pas tout faire même si je suis resté un peu plus de 10 jours là bas.

    Il doit être bon ce vin du Vésuve ... il ne manque pas de soleil !
