Select participants and date
You step off the minivan in Bomerano, the sea already whispering below, and the trail ahead narrows to a sun-washed ribbon cutting across the Lattari ridge. The first meters feel like an invitation: limestone ledges, a scrub of wild fennel and juniper, and that impossible window of sky that frames the Amalfi coastline. From here the path unfurls—high terraces, sheer drops, and villages clinging like notes on a staff—until Positano’s stacked houses shine far beneath you.

Adventure Tips
Start early for cooler temperatures
Begin at or before 9 AM to avoid midday heat and catch the clearest coastal views; parking and pickups run smoother in the morning.
Wear grippy shoes
Limestone surfaces can be steep and slippery—sturdy hiking shoes with good traction reduce fall risk on exposed sections.
Hydrate and snack often
Carry 1.5–2 liters of water per person and energy-rich snacks; there are no reliable water stops on the trail.
Plan your pickup ahead
If finishing in Nocelle/Positano, confirm the driver’s pickup point and time to avoid long waits or extra descent on steep steps.
