Sentiero degli Dei (tratto Nocelle)

The Sentiero degli Dei is a historic mountainside path above the Amalfi Coast, connecting the upland landscape with the hamlet of Nocelle near Positano.

Why it matters

The path reveals the relationship between coastal settlements and the higher villages of the Lattari range. Its landscape of cliffs, terraces and mountain routes forms part of the Amalfi Coast's UNESCO-listed cultural landscape.

What to notice

The trail crosses wooded slopes and open ledges, with views over the Amalfi Coast, Capri and the Li Galli islands. Near Nocelle, the surrounding landscape shifts from high mountain terrain to the closely settled coastal hills.

Context and history

The path follows older routes that connected hill villages before the modern coastal road existed. Local tradition explains its evocative name through the trail's high position above the sea. Today it is recognised as a cultural and scenic feature of the Lattari mountains and the Amalfi Coast.
