The Amalfi Coast captures the very essence of southern Italy.
Known for its steep, rugged cliffs, glittering blue seas, and the picturesque villages of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, Amalfi has something for everyone.
The hiking routes allow you to experience the Amalfi Coast away from the bustling tourist hotspots, guiding you through untouched nature and quiet hamlets.
The well-maintained trails cater to various levels, from moderate paths with sea views to more demanding treks for those looking for a challenge.
Lesser-known routes take you through serene valleys like Valle delle Ferriere, a lush nature reserve filled with waterfalls, while trails like the Path of the Gods, Valle dei Mulini, and Monte San Michele are characterized by rocky footpaths, ancient mule tracks, and occasional cliffside walks.
Spring and autumn bring ideal, mild temperatures and fewer tourists for those looking to experience Amalfi in its serene beauty, but the coastal breeze can bring relief even in hot summer months.
Those hoping to reach more remote trailheads should be aware that public transportation, while available, can be somewhat limited or irregular, but the well-marked trails, the support of the local tourism infrastructure, and the welcoming mountain huts, guesthouses, and inns make the Amalfi Coast a rewarding destination for hikers of all levels.
