Amalfi Coast Hiking Trails - Your Perfect Base at Tenuta La Picola
Tenuta La Picola serves as the perfect base for exploring Amalfi Coast hiking trails. Our historic 1600s farm stay, strategically located in Furore, offers privileged access to the most spectacular trails of the Divine Coast, from the famous Path of the Gods to hidden routes through ancient terraced landscapes.
Premier Amalfi Coast Hiking Trails
Barbanera Trail
The Barbanera Trail begins at Vigne and winds through the Praia Valley, where Mediterranean scrubland dominates with rosemary, myrtle, mastic, and heather. This 70-minute route follows ancient “level paths” to Moressa, passing the old Barbanera house – home to a local astrologer-meteorologist. The trail offers breathtaking glimpses of the Coast’s crystal-clear waters and features easy walkability.
Crow’s Nests Trail (Sentiero dei Nidi di Corvo)
The Crow’s Nests Trail runs from Centena to Bomerano di Agerola over approximately 70 minutes. Also called Pennino Trail on some maps, it connects to the Santa Barbara Caves and reaches the entrance to the Path of the Gods. This route traverses wild landscapes among terraced fields, offering spectacular panoramas over the Lattari Mountains.
Path of the Gods – The King of Amalfi Coast Hiking
The Path of the Gods stands as the most famous Amalfi Coast hiking trail. From Tenuta La Picola, easily reach the starting point at Bomerano di Agerola, then continue toward Positano through breathtaking panoramas that make you feel literally suspended between sky and sea.
Essential Coastal Hiking Routes
Fox Fisher Trail (Sentiero della Volpe Pescatrice)
The 40-minute Fox Fisher Trail runs from Sant’Elia to the fjord, following the ancient farmer-fisherman route. The path crosses Maccaronari palace and descends through characteristic “monazzeni” (traditional shelters) to the Furore Fjord landing.
Love Walk (Passeggiata dell’Amore)
The Love Walk extends 200 meters at 500 meters above sea level, offering enchanting views over Praiano. This easy panoramic trail starts from Sant’Elia Church.
