Walk around Faito Mountain, the Highest Point of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Peninsula

Sightseeing  :  Italy  :  Campania  :  Vico Equense  :  Walking Tours

This is one of the best walks, going towards the highest peak of Lattari Mountains. You will walk among coniferous and beech forests, with spectacular views on all the territory around, from Cilento to Vesuvio. Pass by the Holy Water spring and reach the base of the Molar, the highest peak of the Lattari Mountains. Optional walk to the top of the Molar, where you have a unique panorama. Walk along the edge, with great view on the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento Peninsula and Capri

Starting from Campo del Pero, we walk inside the beech forest, passing by the holy water spring, where there is a rare specie of insectivorous plant.

We continue walking uphill until we reach the base of the Molar (1444 m), highest peak of all the Napoli district. The effort to reach the top is rewarded from a unique panorama. Once we are back on the main path we follow the edge and we get another gorgeous view, with all the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Peninsula in front of us which extends in the sea.

In the end we have a pleasant walk in the woods between secular examples of beech and we return to the starting point.
