Path of the Gods and High Path Loop

This loop is rated as difficult due to its length, significant elevation gain of approximately 880 meters, and varied terrain. While sections of the famous Path of the Gods are generally considered easy to moderate, combining it with the High Path of the Gods creates a more challenging and adventurous experience.

The route features a diverse terrain, including mule tracks, dirt paths, and stone paths. You'll encounter rocky sections that may require some scrambling, as well as carved steps, particularly when descending towards villages like Nocelle. The High Path sections involve climbing up the side of the mountain through thick vegetation.

Yes, the trail is generally dog-friendly. However, given the route's difficult rating, varied terrain, and length of over 15 km, ensure your dog is fit for a long hike. Always keep your dog on a leash, especially in populated areas or near wildlife, and carry enough water for both of you.

The best times to hike are spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). During these seasons, the weather is typically pleasant, and the landscapes are vibrant. Summer can be very hot, making the long hike more challenging, while winter might bring cooler temperatures and occasional rain.

The High Path of the Gods runs at a higher altitude, offering a different, more elevated perspective of the stunning Amalfi Coast and Capri. It typically involves more climbing and thicker vegetation, providing a slightly more adventurous and less crowded experience compared to the popular main Path of the Gods.

Given its difficult rating, distance of over 15 km, and significant elevation gain, this specific loop is generally not recommended for young children or families seeking an easy outing. While parts of the main Path of the Gods are moderate, the full loop with the High Path is more strenuous. Consider shorter, less demanding sections if hiking with family.
