The Amalfi Coast - Unrivalled Italian Coastal Walking Holiday with Sherpa Expeditions
A land of everlasting Spring, golden light, charming villages and monasteries, watch towers, isolated farmsteads, with flower-strewn coastal paths threading them all together. There are also areas of near wilderness along the Monti Lattari just behind the coast, with impressive cliffs rising up to 1400m whilst omnipresent is the blue of the Mediterranean.After arriving in Amalfi, and perhaps a swim to wash away the tiredness from your journey, our first walk takes us to the ‘Valle dei Mulini’, the valley of the watermills, and on up to the little village of Pontone and the medieval Torre dello Zirro. The return stretch back to Amalfi is very scenic with spectacular viewpoints. Including a visit to beautiful Ravello.
Next we walk into the Valle delle Ferriere, one of southern Italy’s most beautiful nature reserves, passing beneath the towering cliffs close to some little waterfalls. From Pogerola a beautiful medieval muletrack curves down to Amalfi, amidst lemon groves and maquis.
The tour continues along a paved muletrack dating back towards the 9th century, to the imposing monastery of Santa Rosa. The route descends to the coast and the spectacular inlet at Furore. From here we walk along to the church of Sant’Elia into the Valley of Praia and then to the coastal town of Praiano. Next we follow the famous ‘Sentiero degli Dei’ (Footpath of the Gods), with views of Capri before descending to precariously perched Positano, one of the most charming villages of the coast.
Finally we take a local bus back up to Montepertuso where we start a circular walk of the Positano valley following ancient footpaths through the forest with marvelous viewpoints. We climb towards Santa Maria al Castello, the old fortress defending the narrow valley between the Amalfi and the Sorrentine side of the peninsula and overlooking both the Gulf of Salerno and the Gulf of Naples. The walk then descends via a forest station to Positano.
On the 11 day tour we stay in Sorrento which has good access to some other walks, and is also a convenient place for an excursion to the beautiful Isle of Capri. This classy, beautiful walk follows steep-stepped routes on some days to get you quickly to the viewpoints.Inn to Inn 8 or 11 days

INCLUDED ACTIVITIES & WALKS: Cinque Terre National Park
The Cinque Terre refers to five picturesque villages which perch on the cliffs high above the Mediterranean – Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglio, Manarola and Riomaggiore. We travel by train from Chiavari via Manarola to Riomaggiore, from where we follow the cliff path through the villages (approx. 6 hours’ walk).

Apuane Alps - Mountain Walking In Tuscany with Sherpa Expeditions.
This remote area of northern Tuscany has an old world charm of its own. It is a world away from the towns and rolling hills of the south. The Apuane Alps are covered by a web of trails providing routes from hamlet to hilltop and beyond. You will experience superb scenery, mountain wilderness and tranquillity.
This trek has many attractive ingredients, from wide mountain vistas, to remote hamlets surrounded by forest and mountain scenery. There are few other walkers and the villagers make you feel truly welcome. From the small unassuming town of Fornaci di Barga we enter the Apuane forests, climbing up through chestnut woods and dropping down through vineyards to the ancient village of Verni. Here we enter an impressive series of limestone massifs that rise up to 2000m within a few kms of the sea, the Apuanes are famous for their scenery of white marble towers, abysses and the largest cave system in Italy.
En route to Trassilico (732m) we stumble across remote chapels, and abandoned farms. We climb Monte Forato (1223m) visit the ‘Grotta del Vento’ with its subterranean lakes and ‘living’ stalagmites and stalactites. From Fornovolasco there is a long day to make the optional ascent of Pania della Croce (1860m), the view from the summit is quite magnificent. Before dropping down to the old hermitage at Calomini and back to Fornaci.
