Overview of the tour
An exclusive hike for small groups of experienced hikers
Get ready for a unique adventure in the heart of the Monti Lattari Park, reaching the summit of Monte Molare (1,444 m), the highest peak of the mountain range. This itinerary is reserved for trained and motivated hikers, ready to fully immerse themselves in a wild and authentic environment.
An immersive experience among breathtaking landscapes and pristine nature
The hike starts from Monte Faito, a plateau rich in beech and conifer forests, then winds along panoramic trails. The final section of the route requires a good level of endurance and a steady step, but the reward is priceless: a 360-degree view over the Sorrento Peninsula, the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, and the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida.
This tour is much more than just a hike: we will take you on a journey through time, sharing stories about the ancient history, flora, fauna, and legends that surround these sacred mountains. You will have the opportunity to discover wild herbs, traces of local wildlife, and fascinating insights into local traditions.
Shorter and less demanding option
For those who want a less strenuous experience without missing out on spectacular views, we offer a shorter and easier route, still departing from Monte Faito. This option allows you to enjoy breathtaking views of the Monti Lattari and the Gulf of Naples, on a more accessible path, suitable even for those looking for a scenic hike without tackling technical sections.

Lunch with local products in a traditional trattoria
