In this video, I am up in the mountains above Napoli in southern Italy, hiking up in the range known as Monte Sant’Angelo or ‘Tre Pizzi’, the highest point on the Lattari, the backbone of the Sorrento/Amalfi peninsula between the Gulf of Salerno and the Bay of Naples.
My walk begins after a panoramic cable car ride to Monte Faito and then a climb up to the summit of Monte Sant’Michele (1444m or 4737ft) better known as Molare (translated as the Molar, due to its distinctive tooth shape) with amazing 360 degree views across to Pompeii, Naples and Vesuvius to the north, Punta Campanella and the Island of Capri to the West and the Amalfi coast to the south. My return descent takes me to some stunning caves with views down to the forested valley two thousand feet below and back down the ridge to where I started.
This area of Italy boasts some stunning, rugged landscapes with a well waymarked network of superb trails to explore - I’ll be back!
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
