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

Overview

The route contours the mountains and takes you along the very popular 'Path of the Gods' high above the sea, the views often stretching as far as the island of Capri. 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.)

Food & Drink

The hotel will provide you with a picnic today. Facilities are available in Nocelle & Montepertuso.

Important

The ‘Path of the Gods’ has one or two slightly vertiginous sections, and care is also needed on certain sections of the path where there are loose stones on the rough-hewn steps. In addition, due to its increasing popularity, (especially with organised groups) we recommend an early start to beat potentially crowded paths.
