From your arrival airport, you will make your way to your first accommodation in Sala Consilina. Your host Riccardo will help you get orientated and answer any questions you may have about the days ahead.

You will get a ride to the starting point of your trip at the foot of the Monte Cervati. From there you will make the hike up to the Rifugio for a meal and a good night's sleep.

Your first full-length leg is perhaps the most challenging one. Depending on the season you will find snow on the mountain. Your hike will take you near the sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve - subject of great devotion in neighbouring towns of Sanza and Piaggine - and along the Nevera, where snow gathers all year long. The Nevera used to be an important source of ice for locals before the advent of electrical refrigeration.
You will arrive at the Croce di Pruno, where you'll take a small deviation toward your accommodation for the night: Chalet Nicoletti.

From Chalet Nicoletti you can take a quick peek at the impressive Grava di Vesalo, a natural depression in the earth that is common to the area, before resuming your hike at the Croce di Pruno.
From there you will make your way to Rofrano over dirt paths and through woodlands. You will see the vegetation change slowly as you begin to feel the air warm up on your hike down the hilly landscape.
In Rofrano, you will stay with local legend Cono at his restaurant and B&B.

Leaving Cono's in Rofrano, you'll make your way to Montano Antilia during a shorter leg, that takes you over the Varolovagno mountain pass. You will notice the weather and vegetation changing as soo as you come out of the pass. In the afternoon, you will be welcomed at the Agriturismo ai Monaci in this scenic town, to get a wholesome meal and a good night's sleep before embarking on your journey to the seaside.

Make sure to have your bathing suit at hand for this long walk down to the Mediterranean waters. The hike down is filled with amazing views of the coast. Smell the air get saltier as you walk towards the deep blue sea. You will arrive at the Arco Naturale where you can finally dip your toes, or more, into the fresh water. You will spend the night nearby in B&B La Via del Mare before your last day of the hike.

Your final hike takes you from the Arco Naturale all over the Capo Palinuro peninsula, known as the emblematic picture of Cilento. The peninsula sports countless beautiful views, an archeaological site, a lighthouse and a number of ruins of the medieval coastal defense system. You'll continue the walk over beaches and along the coastal path that lines the town of Palinuro, giving you lot's of opportunities for a dip in the sea on your way to your final accommodation.

After breakfast, you will find your way to your transport option of choice. You will be given detailed instructions on how to catch your best public transport option. Alternatively, if you wish to book private transports, you can do so during the checkout process.
