The trail opens on a bright ledge above the Tyrrhenian Sea; wind tugs at your jacket and the cliffs answer with wide, salt-sweet breath. You step onto a stone ribbon carved into the Lattari range—6 km of exposed ridgeline, terraces and sudden sea vistas that frame Capri and the Li Galli islets like islands held at arm’s length. The route moves steadily, alternately soft dirt and ancient stone staircases, with panoramas that make you pause as often as your legs demand.

Start early to beat heat and crowds
Begin at first light to enjoy cooler temperatures and clearer views; midday can be hot and busy on the exposed ridge.
Carry sufficient water
Bring at least 1–1.5 L per person—there are no reliable water sources on the trail and the sun can be strong.
Wear sturdy shoes and consider poles
Expect uneven stone steps and loose scree on descents; supportive footwear and poles reduce fatigue and risk of slips.
Respect private terraces and wildlife
Stay on the marked track, avoid trampling cultivated terraces and keep noise low to preserve local agriculture and nesting birds.
Hiking shoes (sturdy tread)
Firm grip and ankle support for stone steps and uneven terrain.
1–1.5 L water bottle or hydration pack
Keeps you hydrated during exposed, sunny sections of the trail.
