A walking holiday on the Amalfi Coast

South of Naples and the conical mass of Vesuvius, the rugged promontory of the Amalfi Coast – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – fuses an astonishing, mountainous landscape with picturesque villages whose construction, clinging to steep hillsides, appears to defy logic. The sparkling waters below are ever-present, the views breathtaking at every step.

Our route here is a thrilling discovery of this spectacular coastal region, with dramatic trails into the Lattari Mountains that form the promontory’s spine. There can be no better way to explore here than on foot, following mule paths and stone stairways that have linked the villages since ancient times. Despite the inevitable ups and downs (sometimes on stone steps), the routes delight the senses in every way – you walk amid lemons, olives and vineyards with the murmur of the waves below – and you will love the local fish and seafood.

Arrival

Arrival in Corpo di Cava

Arrival in Corpo di Cava

Night 1: at Hotel Scapolatiello (the first of two nights here).
As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
Day 1

Circular walk from Corpo di Cava: 7km, 3hrs; ascent / descent 435m; longer option: 14km, 7hrs; ascent / descent 1335m

Circular walk from Corpo di Cava: 7km, 3hrs; ascent / descent 435m; longer option: 14km, 7hrs; ascent / descent 1335m

We suggest a gentle introductory circuit which starts from the village’s impressive Benedictine monastery, founded in the 11th century and later restored in Baroque style. The route leads through chestnut woods and crosses streams to rise to an ancient chapel from where there are fine views of the coast. You return to Corpo di Cava via another chapel which again boasts wonderful coastal panoramas.

If you are feeling energetic, you could continue up from the ancient chapel to cross the eastern part of the Lattari Mountains, all the way to the cliff-edge Avvocata Monastery, from where you are rewarded with superior views that include Mount Vesuvius to the north and a far-reaching panorama along the peninsula.

Alternatively, for a day of sightseeing, you could take the train to Pompeii, a 30-minute ride away (pay locally).

Visit fascinating Pompeii
Day 2

Corpo di Cava to Ravello: 8km, 4hrs; ascent 615m / descent 260m

Corpo di Cava to Ravello: 8km, 4hrs; ascent 615m / descent 260m

The day starts with a transfer to the coastal town of Maiori. From here, you ascend hundreds of ancient stone steps past fragrant lemon groves and through woods of pines and chestnuts to the late 11th-century Convent of San Nicola, which perches on a hill 486 metres above the sea, the highest point of the walk. You then descend through woodland to Ravello, passing occasional olive groves and vineyards. For your two nights in Ravello, you stay at the family-run Hotel Bonadies, which enjoys excellent views over the coast.

Day 3

Choice of routes from Ravello: 8km or 9km

Choice of routes from Ravello: 8km or 9km

Both of today's options follow an ancient route to cross the Valle del Dragone and reach Torre dello Ziro, one of Amalfi's oldest watchtowers. From here you have a choice of onward routes.

Pontone & Scala: 8km, 3.5hrs; ascent / descent 575m
From the watchtower, continue by ascending through the tiny settlements of Pontone and Minuto, under which are pretty terraces of lemons and vines, before returning to Ravello via the quiet neighbouring village of Scala.

Pontone, Valle delle Ferriere & Amalfi: 9km, 4hrs; ascent 425m / descent 735m
Alternatively, take the lower path through the Valle delle Ferriere before descending to the coast at Amalfi, from where you can catch a bus back to Ravello.

Whichever route you follow, be sure to leave plenty of time to explore exclusive Ravello and appreciate the impressive views – the best in the region – of the Amalfi Coast. Some of the most breathtaking and far-reaching vistas are enjoyed by the formal gardens of the Palazzo Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo (pay entrance fees locally). The cathedral is also worth a visit as it houses some fine works of art. Ravello has a thriving concert society, and there are many musical recitals throughout the summer (pay locally).

Villa Rufolo gardens in Ravello
Day 4

Choice of routes from Ravello to Bomerano: 13km or 13.5km

Choice of routes from Ravello to Bomerano: 13km or 13.5km

From Ravello you walk past isolated farms and along a panoramic path to enter the Valle delle Ferriere nature reserve, a lush valley in which salamanders, red woodpeckers, giant ferns and the insect-eating Pinguicola hirtiflora can be found. The path contours the Lattari Mountains, affording splendid views. On the other side of the valley, you can choose one of two options:

Ravello to Amalfi then bus: 13km, 5.5hrs; ascent 530m / descent 865m
This option descends first to the hillside village of Pogerola, and then takes you down a stepped pathway to reach historic Amalfi, which you have time to explore before catching the bus (45mins; pay locally) to Bomerano.

Ravello to Agerola Plain then transfer: 13.5km, 6hrs; ascent 825m / descent 550m
This more challenging route ascends directly to the Agerola Plain and the small village of San Lazzaro, from where your host will collect you.

In Bomerano you stay at the Hotel Due Torri for one night.

Day 5

Bomerano to Positano: 10km, 4hrs; ascent 345m /descent 965m

Bomerano to Positano: 10km, 4hrs; ascent 345m /descent 965m

This is a spectacular walk, possibly rewarding you with a sighting of a peregrine falcon in addition to the breathtaking views which give you the impression of being on top of the world. The route contours the mountains and takes you along the 'Path of the Gods' high above the sea, the views often stretching as far as the island of Capri. (Best avoided on a Sunday when it can be very popular with locals and visitors alike.) You then descend along hundreds of stone steps to reach the elegant resort of Positano, where you stay a short, seafront stroll from the centre at the very friendly Hotel Pupetto in tranquil Fornillo Bay. (You can opt to take a bus for the last leg to avoid the descent on the steps. Pay locally.)

The Path of the Gods route from Bomerano to Positano
Day 6

Circular walk from Positano: 6.5km, 3.5hrs; ascent / descent 640m

Circular walk from Positano: 6.5km, 3.5hrs; ascent / descent 640m

We recommend a thrilling route that penetrates the wild rugged mountainside behind Positano, some of the steepest and most exhilarating of the whole coastline. You ascend via an ancient, well-preserved mule-track which offers magnificent bird's-eye views over Positano. At its top, you reach the church of Santa Maria Castello, set beneath some of the highest peaks of the Monte Lattari range, and which also overlooks the Bay of Naples. There is a rustic bar-restaurant nearby for a well deserved lunch, before you descend via forest-clad slopes back to Positano.

Alternatively, you could spend the exploring Positano’s tiers of houses linked by narrow alleyways and stairways lined with boutiques. You could also take a boat trip from Positano along the coast (pay locally) for a day of leisurely sightseeing.

Accommodation

This holiday features several high-quality hotels, including an upgrade option in Positano. Please indicate your preference at the time of booking.

Occasionally, due to availability, we may offer an alternative hotel, as shown below. You will be informed of any change to the usual hotel (along with any price implication) prior to us confirming your holiday to you.

Whichever hotels you stay at in Ravello and Positano, we recommend an extra night: in Positano to fully explore the tiered houses, meandering alleys and boutique-lined stairways; and in Ravello to take in one of the many classical concerts held in the local formal gardens over the summer months.

Extra night recommended

The hotel has an inviting pool, and makes a good base for a day trip by train to Pompeii.

Nights 1-2
Hotel Scapolatiello
Corpo di Cava
Popular among artists in the 19th century, this high-quality hotel has been run by the Scapolatiello family since 1821.

  Hotel Bonadies
  Ravello
  One of Ravello’s longest-standing hotels, the friendly, family-run Bonadies has been welcoming guests since 1880. The hotel is located in Ravello’s lofty historic quarter, which enjoys excellent, far-reaching views while also being within easy reach of the central square, where many of the town’s cafés and restaurants can be found; as your stay is on a bed-and-breakfast basis, you are free to take your pick of these. The hotel does have its own well-regarded restaurant should you prefer to dine in, as well as a small swimming pool and spacious roof terrace, both of which overlook the beautiful Amalfi Coast.
  
  Meal arrangements: breakfast, plus dinner on first night

On your first night, we include dinner in the on-site restaurant, which has an excellent reputation.
  
  Meal arrangements: breakfast, plus dinner on first night
Night 5
Hotel Due Torri

- Upgrade hotel
  
  Nights 6-7
  Hotel Pupetto
  Positano
  A leisurely, ten-minute stroll from the centre of Positano lies the small, secluded bay of Fornillo, presided over by the Hotel Pupetto. This family-run hotel is a wonderfully friendly place to stay, and receives consistently high reviews from guests. Bedrooms are simple yet comfortable, and breakfast is included in the hotel’s renowned restaurant, where you can also choose to dine in the evenings if you wish (pay locally).
  
  Meal arrangements: breakfast only
- Back
  
  Nights 6-7
  Buca di Bacco
  Positano
  It’s hard to beat the Buca di Bacco for location, and yet there’s more to this high-quality hotel than its enviable beachfront setting in the heart of Positano. The team are excellent, offering professional yet very friendly service, and the generous breakfasts can be enjoyed on the hotel’s sea-facing terrace. Our included bedrooms also look onto the Mediterranean, and are each distinct in shape and character, as befits the age of the building.
  
  Meal arrangements: breakfast only

Travelling from outside the UK

If you are flying from outside Europe, we recommend Naples or Rome. To discuss onward connecting travel to the start of your holiday, please contact us.

This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above except those operated by Ryanair. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

Connecting travel

Prices below are based on 2 people travelling together. If you are travelling solo or as a party of 3 or more and our arrangements include a taxi, please contact us for prices; additional passengers often pay less.

Unless otherwise stated, connecting travel by rail or bus tends to be from the city centre station, rather than from its airport, and connections between the two should be paid for locally.

The highlight was undoubtedly the Path of the Gods - the scenery was stunning. The walks were suitable for us, but there were a lot of steps! (I mean A LOT).

This was an absolutely incredible holiday in every possible way and the Inntravel service throughout could not have been bettered. The walking was varied, challenging and exciting, with stunning views across steep hillsides and lemon groves and rocky clifftop paths with the best views we have ever experienced in Italy or anywhere else. Every day provided completely different scenery and types of walk and ended in beautiful towns and wonderful hotels. We loved starting out in quiet Cava di Tirreni, in a hotel with staggering grounds and phenomenal food. Ravello was also a major highlight - stunning hilltop towns with beautiful gardens, pretty square and brilliant bars and restaurants. We would highly recommend the walk around Positano on day six which took us out of the very touristy part of Positano into the quiet and pretty upper parts of the town, which also had several fun bars and restaurants. Da Vincenzo was an excellent place to eat, set on a buzzy lane with outside tables and brilliant food. We are longing to go back and very grateful to Inntravel for such excellent service during a very difficult period including Covid-19 and many forest fires.

Perfect time of year for walking here. All the hotels were very good in particular Villa Maria and Baco. We ended up getting a ride with the taxi driver from Bomerano who was so friendly and dropped us in Nocelle to walk.

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.

What happens if my plans change due to Covid-19?

If your holiday plans go awry because of Coronavirus, rest assured that we’ll do right by you. Since the start of the pandemic, our flexible booking policy and prompt issuing of refunds to customers who prefer not to defer their holiday have earned us high praise in the national press.
Will Covid-19 impact my holiday experience?

We sincerely hope that your holiday experience will be as enjoyable as it would have been before the pandemic – walking holidays are ideal in these times of social distancing, and we’re not operating holidays if the key highlights can no longer be delivered – but, naturally, there will be some changes to ensure your and other people’s safety, not least taking tests before and after your holiday for many destinations.

How do self-guided walking holidays work?

We’ll send you route notes and maps 2-3 weeks before your holiday. The route notes not only contain directions to get from hotel to hotel, but also include practical information about places of interest and eateries along each route, plus cultural information about the area. If/when you are moving between hotels, you leave your luggage in reception as you leave, and it will be transferred ahead to your next accommodation, meaning that all you need to take with you are a camera, sun cream, drinks, food and waterproofs.

For more detailed information, see our walking holidays in Europe page.
Do you provide GPS navigation?

Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
Can I book my flights through Inntravel, and what’s the advantage of doing this?

We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines (but not, currently, with Ryanair). As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. For Europe, there’s a £35 booking fee per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). For India and Nepal, the booking fee is £60 per person. More information on flights >
I’d like to travel all the way from the UK by rail. Can you arrange this?

Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact Abi and Lizzie to discuss your plans.
Can you book travel arrangements for customers from outside the UK?

We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
I’m travelling alone. Is there anything I need to know?

Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
How do I make a booking?

Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

You don’t have to take out our recommended travel insurance policy (if you live outside the UK you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

We'll ask you for the details of your policy (insurer, policy number and medical emergency phone number) so that we can help out if the worst happens while you are on holiday. It's up to you, though, to check that your policy covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs; we don't check alternative policies.
What else do I need to know about travelling to Italy?

The principal official language is Italian, though some regions have a second official language, such as South Tyrol, where German is widely spoken. The currency is the Euro. Italian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
Do I need a visa or anything health-related for Italy?

It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Italy, but not a visa. If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
How does Brexit affect travel to Europe?

For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.

At Inntravel we work in close partnership with our hoteliers, taxi drivers and other local suppliers to provide our self-guided holidays directly to you. We are entirely confident that you will continue to receive the usual warm welcome from them, regardless of what is happening in the European political sphere.
Where can I find general travel advice?

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.
If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
Is this holiday suitable for children?

You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
