Amalfi Coast, Mountains & Positano - 7 Days

from £1,365 / person

Overview

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe, where limestone mountains plunge into impossibly blue waters and cliffside villages cling to the slopes above. Ancient stone staircases lead to the pastel-coloured villages of Ravello and Positano, while rugged mountain paths climb through terraced lemon groves to panoramic viewpoints overlooking Capri and the open sea.

This walk begins in Amalfi before heading to the elegant town of Ravello, known for its spectacular views along the coastline and a long history of inspiring artists and writers. The route then descends into the rich nature reserve of Valle delle Ferriere before climbing into the Monti Lattari mountains on quiet trails. The highlight of the walk is the Path of the Gods, Europe's most spectacular balcony path, which leads to the town of Positano perched above the sea. Two nights here allow time to explore the beaches of Marina Grande and the beachfront restaurants the town is celebrated for.

The walk concludes with a day on the island of Capri, a fitting and memorable finale to one of the most visually dramatic walking routes in Europe.

Where You'll Stay

During this tour, accommodation is in family-run guesthouses and three-star hotels, chosen for their location and the warmth of the welcome they offer to walkers. Many hosts have deep roots in the Amalfi region and are always happy to share their knowledge of its history.

Given how popular this destination is, alternative accommodation of equivalent standard may occasionally be needed. We will discuss any options with you at the time of booking, and our team remains available throughout the walk should you need us.

What You'll Eat

Each of the six mornings begins with breakfast before you head out on the trail. Lunch and dinner are best explored at your own pace, and the Amalfi Coast gives you plenty to work with. Fresh scialatielli pasta with clams and a glass of local bianco wine is a strong starting point, and the cafes and gelato shops along the cobbled streets of Amalfi town are hard to walk past. Your hosts will provide a list of dinner recommendations each evening.

Note: Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended, as specialist ingredients can be harder to source along the way.

More About This Trip

The walk starts in Amalfi and finishes in Positano, on Italy's Amalfi Coast. The closest airport is Naples (NAP), with good international connections. Between May and September, a direct shuttle bus runs from the airport to Amalfi in just over 2 hours. Outside this period, a bus to the Immacolatella ferry terminal connects to Amalfi in around 3 hours. A private transfer from Naples Airport to Amalfi takes around 1 hour and can be arranged on request. By rail, trains from Naples Centrale reach Via Nocera in around 40 minutes, from where a taxi to Amalfi takes around 35 minutes.

The walk ends in Positano. The most practical return to Naples is by taxi to Castellammare di Stabia station, with direct trains to Naples. Alternatively, a ferry via Capri to Naples harbour, or a bus to Sorrento connecting to Naples Porta Nolana, are both viable options. Remember to stamp your ticket at the platform machine before boarding any train in Italy.

This walk is available from 1 April to 31 October, but does not operate in July and August when heat and crowds are at their most intense. Spring is the golden season: orange blossom scents the lanes, wildflowers line the higher trails and the villages come to life after winter. June brings settled, sunny weather and long evenings. From September, the crowds thin and the heat eases, with the sea still warm and the coast at its most relaxed. October is particularly good for walking, with quieter paths and comfortable temperatures throughout. Pack a light waterproof whatever the month.

This walk is graded easy to moderate. Daily walks average 9.8 kilometres with around 385 metres of ascent and descent, and a terrain difficulty rating of 5 out of 10. The distances are short but the terrain demands attention. Many sections feature prolonged stone staircases, both ascending and descending, most with handrails though not always. Expect rocky mountain trails, forest paths, and the famous Path of the Gods, a balcony cliff path with some exposed sections. Those who suffer from severe vertigo may wish to take the ferry or bus between Amalfi and Positano on that day.

As is common throughout Italy, dedicated footpaths are not always available, so some road walking is unavoidable. Please remain mindful of other road users at all times. Sturdy walking boots are essential.

An exercise regime of two to three times per week, in addition to regular walking, is recommended in preparation. Daily walk notes, maps, and GPX tracks are provided.

Travel insurance is required for all Stroll walking holidays, covering cancellation costs, loss of luggage and injury. For international trips, your policy must also include medical evacuation coverage. A cancellation fee applies if you cancel after your holiday has been confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about walking the Amalfi Coast

As some of the walks on this itinerary are loop walks you can explore the local towns or relax near the waterside or beachfront. On the days where you will be walking to the next town, it is not possible to travel with the luggage transfer service. The local bus and ferry services are an excellent way to reach your next destination. Your accommodation hosts will have up to date information and advice should you wish to travel to the next destination by local transport. There is plenty of information about options for the day in your daily walk notes and as always, you can call us at the office for any help during your walk should you need any assistance.

Positano The pink town of Positano is perfect for kicking back, relaxing. The town itself is worth exploring on foot. A glorious collection of terracotta buildings and artisan market stalls which all somehow cling onto the vertical rock Positano is built on. And of course, you can enjoy spotting the rich and famous moored just off shore in their luxury super yachts . Amalfi This historic town makes for an excellent base to further explore the nearby towns of Ravello, Maiori and Minori. You can always head down to the port and hangout in one of the many waterside restaurants.

Mobile coverage is generally good across the Amalfi region, though the mountainous terrain means signal can be patchy in places. Stroll provides a walking app with GPX files that can be downloaded and viewed offline, making navigation straightforward even without reception. Always carry your phone — it is essential for emergencies and for contacting your accommodation if you are running late.

Your main luggage is transferred between accommodations each day, so you only need to carry a daypack on the trail. Bags must be clearly labelled with your name using the luggage tags provided, weigh no more than 20kg and measure no more than 60 x 50 x 40cm. Please do not attach additional items to your bag via handles or straps. Leave your luggage at reception on check-out and it will be waiting for you at your next accommodation.

The walks involve significant ascent and descent, often in warm conditions. Carry a minimum of two to three litres of water per person each day. Public water fountains are available in most villages and the water is generally safe to drink unless marked "Acqua Non Potabile."

Bus tickets on the Amalfi Coast must be purchased in advance at tobacco shops or newsagents — they cannot be bought from the driver. On trains, always check whether your ticket needs to be self-stamped before boarding, as failure to do so can result in fines of up to €200.

Yes. Please advise us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking so we can inform your accommodation hosts. On check-in, reconfirm your requirements directly with reception — particularly if vegetarian, as interpretations can vary. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended.

Yes. While credit cards are widely accepted, carrying cash at all times is strongly advised. Local buses, smaller cafes and some shops may not accept cards. ATMs are available in most towns along the route. The currency throughout Italy is the Euro.

Yes. A local tourist tax is payable directly to your accommodation at check-in or check-out throughout the Amalfi region. The amount varies by property, typically between €1 and €12 per person per night. This is not included in your Stroll package and must be paid in cash or by card on the spot.

Key items include waterproof walking shoes, a waterproof jacket and overtrousers, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a water bottle of at least two to three litres and any personal medications. If you plan to swim on Capri, pack bathers and a towel. If prone to seasickness, bring non-drowsy medication for the ferry crossing. A full packing list will be included in your information pack sent six weeks before departure.
