Getting There
Take the bus from Amalfi to Bomerano to start; finish in Positano.

Why Go

The trail runs about 5 miles from Bomerano, above Amalfi, along terraces and ledges to Nocelle, then down some 1,700 steps to Positano. It's mostly gentle but rocky, and has no shade.

Tips

  • Start early, carry water, and walk from Bomerano to Positano so the route goes mostly downhill.
