About this tour
Trek the legendary Sentiero degli Dei, a 2.5-hour guided walk along the Amalfi Coast's most celebrated ridge. You'll traverse ancient limestone cliffs suspended between sea and sky, passing through villages carved into rock faces, past cascading lemon groves and vineyards, with views stretching to Capri and the Monti Lattari peaks. This former mule track once connected isolated coastal towns; today it ranks among Europe's most spectacular trails, with a certified guide navigating its dramatic switchbacks and Alpine meadows.

What to expect
Expect steady elevation changes along a well-marked but undulating path. The route alternates between exposed ridge sections with vertiginous drops and sheltered passages through aromatic shrubland. You'll encounter narrow stretches where the trail clings to the mountainside; rock scrambling sections are brief. The 1700-step staircase connecting the trail to the coast remains inaccessible, but the path itself is maintained. Weather shifts rapidly; afternoon heat intensifies on exposed sections. Your guide will point out geological features, endemic plants, and the engineering that kept communities connected for centuries.
