Sant'Angelo
a Tre Pizzi

The peak of the Lattari Mountains,
1444 metres above the sea

Departure from Monte Faito, where the climb begins towards Croce della Conocchia (1,316 m) along a fairly steep and very scenic route. Once at the top, you can easily reach Monte S. Michele (1,444 m), from which you enjoy a 360-degree view spanning the Sorrento Peninsula and the island of Capri, the gulfs of Salerno and Naples, Vesuvius and the Campanian hinterland.

The descent is made on the opposite side facing north (which can sometimes have considerable temperature variations), passing a natural water spring before returning to the starting point.

Difficulty level: moderate-high (approx. 3 hours of walking; advantage of starting at already 900/1,000 m a.s.l.). Particularly suited to fully appreciating the view that can only be enjoyed from peaks exceeding one thousand metres in height: a unique experience!

Expert variant: Alternatively, it is also possible to start from Montepertuso and climb through Castagnole to the Caserma Forestale (763 m), from where the steep ascent leads to Croce della Conocchia (1,316 m) and Monte S. Michele (1,444 m), then descend with the option of turning towards S. Maria al Castello (659 m) from where you can reach Positano via the Tese descent. Duration: 6/7 hours. Difficulty: High.
