ホステル ブリケットからの山頂ハイキング

Why tackle this hike

Views from the summit sweep across the peninsula towards Capri and down the Lattari mountains, making the grind worthwhile for photographers and hikers alike.

Reaching the Amalfi Coast's highest point is a satisfying physical challenge and a story you will trade with other travellers back at the hostel.

The long ascent doubles as a serious cardio session, especially if you are training for bigger treks later in your trip.

Getting to Santa Maria del Castello

Follow our standard hostel-to-Santa-Maria directions until you arrive in the village; that climb covers just over one third of the total elevation for the day.

Take a breather in the square, refill water if the bar is open, and check that everyone in your group still feels strong before committing to the exposed upper trail.

From Santa Maria to the summit

From the crossroads at the top of the village, turn right up the paved lane until a junction, then turn left and continue past the restaurant until the road bends sharply left.

Leave the road on the right-hand side, following the side path that drops slightly between houses. It will feel like private property at first, but you are still on the right track.

Stay on the mountain trail for an extended stretch until you reach a signed crossroads. Ignore the downhill options and take the steeply rising path.

The ascent quickly zig-zags before easing into a long, flatter traverse along the left-hand side of the mountain face. When you spot stone-cut steps on your right, follow them around the back of the peak for the final push.

Those rock steps lead to the last ramp of the day—keep climbing and you will emerge on the summit plateau with panoramic views in every direction.

コンテンツ

• 1 人あたり少なくとも 2 リットルの水と塩味の軽食。サンタ・マリア・デル・カステッロの後には信頼できる補充はありません。
• グリップ力のあるしっかりしたハイキング シューズ。上部のトレイルのセクションは岩が多く、緩んでいて露出しています。
• 頂上での日焼け止めと重ね着。暖かい日でも風が尾根を越えることがあります。

典型的なコスト

• トレイルへのアクセスは無料です。サンタ マリア デル カステッロで自分へのご褒美に飲み物や軽食を楽しみたい場合は、予算 €5 ～ €10 をお勧めします。
• ハイキングをせずに別の村を経由して下山する場合は、SITA バスのチケットまたはフェリーの運賃を返却してください。

スマートタイミング

• 夏は、最高の暑さの下での登山を避けるために夜明けから出発します。晩秋と春の午後は、灼熱の太陽がなく、柔らかな光が差し込みます。
• 嵐の予報を確認してください。雲がかかると景色が見えなくなり、濡れた石が頂上の階段を滑りやすくなります。
• 出発前にホステルのスタッフに計画と帰宅予定時刻を知らせてください。

Step by step

• Navigate the zig-zags: 山の左側面に沿って道が平らになるまで、急なスイッチバックを通過します。
• Take the rock-cut stairs: 右側の石段を登り、山肌の裏側を回りながら最後のランプまで進みます。
