Question 1

What if the weather is bad?

Accepted Answer

The Amalfi Coast generally experiences clear, dry, and sunny weather from April until November. Thunderstorms are not common, but if they do occur, they form in the afternoon due to extreme heat. You can avoid unnecessary risks by scheduling hikes early in the day.

Meanwhile, hiking during a light rain is feasible as long as appropriate clothing is worn. In the event of severe weather, we can reschedule or find alternate activities for you.

Question 2

When is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast for walking holidays?

Accepted Answer

The ideal time to visit the Amalfi Coast is early spring (April to June) and fall (September to November) due to mild and dry weather. During summer, it might get too hot for a pleasant hike. However, July still offers good conditions earlier in the day. In August, on the other hand, Italians celebrate holidays, so the coast can get pretty busy aside from the high temperatures. We suggest visiting earlier or later. A walking holiday is possible even during winter, but that is also when rainfall is more common.

Question 3

Is it possible to accommodate my dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

The accommodations usually provide breakfast options for both vegetarians and vegans. Additionally, finding restaurants that offer similar menus should not be a problem.

Question 4

Are these vacations suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Our walking holidays can be appropriate for kids if they are in good enough physical shape, as the paths are not technically demanding. To guarantee their safety and enjoyment, we suggest a minimum age of 8 years for children to join the tours.

Question 5

What level of fitness is required for these vacations?

Accepted Answer

Our tours cater to everyone who is not a stranger to physical activity. We adapt the walking distance, elevation gain, and losses to make it less demanding, but you must still not underestimate the challenges. The paths often include steps that can be narrow and steep, sometimes with some exposure, so it might not be enjoyable for people afraid of heights. We suggest you bring hiking poles to help your knees do some of the hard work.

You can prepare for our walking holidays by walking as many stairs as possible and getting used to the strain on your knees. However, if you still feel the hikes will be too challenging, the vast majority can be shortened and adjusted to your fitness level.

Question 6

Which shoes are the most appropriate for walking on the Amalfi Coast?

Accepted Answer

Shoes are every hiker’s essential piece of equipment. Although the paths on the Amalfi Coast are largely well-trodden and even include steps, the ground can still be uneven. Therefore, we advise you to wear hiking boots with ankle support, preventing you from injuring yourself in case of fatigue. We also highly recommend bringing hiker poles to take some stress off your legs.

Question 7

Is it advisable to travel by car or rent one?

Accepted Answer

While having a car might provide a slight increase in flexibility and independence, it’s not necessary, as you can mostly take a bus to reach the Amalfi Coast and travel between different locations there. Furthermore, traveling by bus will help you contribute to sustainable tourism by reducing your carbon footprint, and we fully support preserving the environment in its natural state.

Question 8

How are the bus connections along the Amalfi Coast?

Accepted Answer

The bus connections are good, but if you are visiting when the coast is busy, it can happen that they are full and you have to wait for another. In such cases, if you wish to get started with your hikes early, you can always rely on taxis which we can coordinate for you.
