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.
Alta Via dei Monti Lattari (CAI 300)
The CAI 300 along the ridge above the Amalfi Coast, from Cava de' Tirreni to Punta Campanella, facing Capri: four hard days, and the Sentiero degli Dei below it.

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 your own plan
Changing the pace or where you stay suggests a new number of days: the fewest that keep each day under 8 h of walking and in daylight, where a place to stay allows.

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.
Longest day: day 3, 7 h 04.
How these plans are made
Days end at a stage end with a refuge or a village, or in a village the route passes through. Walking times are our estimate from distance and climb: no time is published for these stages. Running times use 7.5 km/h plus one hour per 700 m of climb: a steady reference, not a prediction. Daylight is sunrise to sunset where the day starts; the time left is for breaks, meals and delays. For villages we count the places to stay OpenStreetMap lists; we have not checked which are open. A plan is not a booking: reserve every night before you commit to these day lengths.

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
Prepare for the Lattari ridge
Arrange your stays, food and travel first, then check conditions again near departure.
For experienced hikers
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 300Landslides and closures after rain
Paths 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 ItalyShort days, and the hunting season
Winter 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.

Naples airport and the train to Sorrento
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: CircumvesuvianaCoast buses
SITA 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.

Route & sources
About this map
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).
Official guidance and mapped-source comparison checked 18 September 2026. Map data is a route reference, not confirmation of today's path, weather or accommodation availability.
