CAI 300 — High Path of the Lattari (Agerola to Tramonti)

The CAI 300 is the backbone trail of the Lattari Mountains — a high-altitude ridge walk that runs the entire length of the mountain chain above the Amalfi Coast. This section from Agerola to Tramonti traverses some of the wildest and most elevated terrain on the coast, reaching over 1,100 meters with views that stretch from the Bay of Naples to the Gulf of Salerno simultaneously. This is not a casual day hike: it demands solid fitness, proper boots, navigation skills, and early departure. The trail follows the mountain crest through windswept grasslands, limestone karst terrain, and occasional beech forest. You pass ancient shepherds' huts still used during summer grazing, and on clear days the panorama is oceanic — Vesuvius, Capri, Ischia, and the curve of the Italian coastline fading north. The section through the Lattari ridge offers exposure on both sides, with the Amalfi Coast dropping away steeply to the south and the Sarno plain stretching north. Tramonti, your destination, is a rural municipality of scattered hamlets famous for its pizza tradition.
