Walk from Bomerano to San Lazzaro along classic Amalfi trails, then learn to make fresh pasta and mozzarella at a farmhouse in Agerola. This 7 km moderate hike blends coastal views, terraced agriculture, and hands-on regional cooking.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A narrow stone stairway opens out from Bomerano and the first view of the Amalfi coastline pulls you forward—sea air pressing against the cliffs, lemon groves tilting toward sunlit terraces. The trail threads old mule paths and shaded oak pockets, moving past the Orrido di Pino gorge before easing into the Abu Tabela stretch that looks down toward Furore’s grape terraces.

History
Agerola’s slopes have been terraced for centuries to grow grapes and citrus; local dairy techniques developed alongside these small farms, producing the region’s fresh mozzarellas.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths to protect fragile terraces and avoid trampling regrowing scrub; carry out all waste and support local producers to keep traditional land uses viable.

Bring trekking poles
Even though poles are listed as included, bring or borrow a reliable pair for the stair sections and loose scree on descents.
Hydrate and carry snacks
Plan for 1–2 liters of water and compact, salty snacks—there are no services on the route before the farmhouse.
Confirm the cooking class payment
The cooking class is optional and paid directly to the farmhouse owner (Valentino); confirm cost and availability before starting the hike.
Timing in summer
Start early to avoid midday heat and secure better light for sea views; afternoon sea breezes can cool the return trail.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grippy, supportive footwear for stone steps, stair sections, and rocky footing.
Light daypack with 1–2L water
Keeps water, snacks, and a light jacket accessible during the hike.
Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
Exposed terraces and south-facing stretches get strong sun, especially in summer.
