You are not allowed to stay overnight in the parking lot!!!! shame for the way :(

You can't actually spend the night here. Directly at the rifuge is not allowed and otherwise you just stand along the road. does not seem safe. we left.

Only parking lot, no facilities, during the night is free. During the day you pay 12,00 eur. We came up late in the evening which I would recommend - no traffic, beautiful view from 2000m. In the morning you are right under Etna. Very nice.
