About this tour
Traverse the Alta Via dei Monti Lattari, a demanding 75-kilometre ridge walk across the Amalfi Coast's highest points over five days. Starting in Cava dei Tirreni and finishing at Massa Lubrense, this trek rewards serious hikers with sweeping panoramas of both the Amalfi and Sorrento coastlines. Your guide provides hiking poles and documents the journey with photographs, though you'll need to arrange your own meals and transport to trailheads.
Highlights
- Summit every major peak along the Amalfi ridge line
- Dual-coast vistas across Campania's most dramatic shoreline
- Five consecutive days above the crowds
- Professional mountain guide leading throughout
- Cava dei Tirreni to Massa Lubrense end-to-end route
What to expect
Expect relentless elevation gain and loss across rugged limestone terrain. Each day involves 4–6 hours of climbing and descending, often with exposure on narrow ridgelines. The path alternates between established mountain tracks and loose scrambles. Morning starts are early; afternoons bring fatigue and concentration demands. Weather shifts quickly at altitude—afternoon clouds often roll in by mid-trek. You'll finish each day sore, dusty, and deeply satisfied. Accommodation and meals are self-organised; many trekkers stay in mountain rifugios or villages at the day's end.
Good to know
Absolute requirement: strong cardiovascular fitness and regular mountain-hiking experience. Wear proper trail shoes with ankle support. Pack 2–3 litres of water capacity and refill at villages. Not suitable if pregnant, recovering from spinal injury, or unfit. Inform your guide of any health concerns beforehand. Arrange own public transport to Cava dei Tirreni; no shuttle service provided.
