Mount Vesuvius is the volcano and surrounding National Park. Gran Cono (Trail No. 5) is the ticketed hiking route that takes visitors from Quota 1000 to the accessible crater rim.
When you book a Mount Vesuvius entry ticket, you're paying for access to the Gran Cono crater trail, not unrestricted access to the entire mountain.
