Alta Via dei Monti Lattari (CAI 300) · Stage 4
Out to Punta Campanella, facing Capri, and back to Termini by the Via Minerva. A rockfall closed the Via Minerva from November 2025 to February 2026; the closure was lifted, though CAI's route page still showed it when read on 18 September 2026.
Best season: October to May, best in late winter and spring. Winter is the walking season here: cool (7–15 °C by day), green and uncrowded, but wet, with landslide and rockfall closures after heavy rain and short days. The ridge reaches 1,316 m at Monte Cerreto and can see snow near Monte Faito. Before you go

Make it your trip
Two of the four nights are below the ridge, in Tramonti and Agerola, reached by short paths or a bus. Farm stays and B&Bs are small: check winter opening one by one.
The wild eastern half: the Avvocata sanctuary, Monte Finestra and Monte Cerreto, with a night by the Valico di Chiunzi.

Source: TerraClimate 1991–2020 monthly averages. Averages for the area at each point’s elevation (4 km grid, corrected for height). Not a forecast or a report of current trail conditions. Snow at the high point is estimated with a simple snowpack model from these temperatures and precipitation, not observed; steep islands and high summits can hold more snow than it shows. Daylight is for the 15th of each month. Hut, transport and park seasons are separate: check them for your dates.
Before you go
Arrange your stays, food and travel first, then check conditions again near departure.
CAI grades most of the 300 EE: steep, exposed in places and poorly waymarked in parts, with leaves hiding the path in November. Carry the GPX, and turn back in heavy rain.
CAI Monti Lattari: sentiero 300Paths on the coast close by municipal ordinance after landslides and rockfalls (the Via Minerva to Punta Campanella in winter 2025/26; the Valle delle Ferriere since 2022). Check CAI's pages and the weather warnings before each day.
Meteoalarm: warnings for ItalyWinter days have 9–10.5 hours of light, and CAI's own trek walks the last hour or two by headtorch. The hunting season runs from 20 September to 31 January, never on Tuesdays or Fridays: wear a bright layer.
CAI Stabia: the winter trek programmeGetting there
Travel around Colli di San Pietro to Termini.
Google Maps journey searches, not confirmed services. A mountain endpoint may need a booked transfer or an additional walk.
From Naples, the EAV Circumvesuviana railway runs to Castellammare, Vico Equense and Sorrento; Cava de' Tirreni, near the start, is on the Naples–Salerno railway, with city bus 61 up to Corpo di Cava.
EAV: CircumvesuvianaSITA Sud buses link Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento (stops at Colli di San Pietro), Maiori with Tramonti and the Valico di Chiunzi (line 5010), and Amalfi with Agerola and Castellammare (line 5080). Winter timetables are thinner.
SITA Sud: autumn timetablesTake your trip with you
Prepare each stage while you still have a connection; coverage is patchy on the ridge and in the valleys.
Keep your route and maps on your phone for places without a signal. For multi-day trips, prepare them in the installed TrailSplits app.
Saving a bookmark is not a map download. Storage can be cleared by your device; keep a backup map for remote trips.
Route & sources
The map follows the eleven OpenStreetMap sections of the CAI 300 (relation 9315161), cut at the four day stages of CAI Castellammare di Stabia's winter treks: Valico di Chiunzi, Crocella above Agerola, Colli di San Pietro and Termini. It measures 70.4 km against the 71.4 km of CAI's two published parts, including the path up to the Santuario dell'Avvocata and back and out to Punta Campanella. A 53 m gap in OpenStreetMap at Torca is joined. CAI grades most of the route EE (for experienced hikers).
