More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the narrow coastal road and the cliff breathes beneath you — warm limestone into which routes have been clipped, the Tyrrhenian Sea glittering like broken glass below. From the belay, Positano’s stacked houses slope toward the water and the wind carries salt and the distant call of a fishing boat. The exposure is immediate; the view insists you look up as much as out.

Wildlife
History
The Amalfi Coast’s cliffs were historically used by shepherds and fishermen; modern sport routes were developed in the late 20th century as bolting spread along the Campanian coast.
Conservation
Stick to established paths and belay ledges to avoid trampling native vegetation; local operators often limit group sizes to reduce impact.

Good traction for the rocky approach and stability near belays.
Sunscreen & cap
Long exposure on south‑facing rock makes sun protection essential.

Reusable water bottle (1–2 L)
