Agerola

A Gateway to the Amalfi Coast’s Natural Beauty

Exploring the Alpine Charm of Agerola

Set high in the Lattari Mountains, Agerola is a hidden gem on the Amalfi Coast, offering an entirely different perspective from the bustling seaside towns. Known as “Little Switzerland” for its cool mountain air and alpine-like environment, this settlement is the starting point for the iconic Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods). Agerola’s blend of natural beauty, rich history, and culinary traditions makes it an essential stop on the Salamander Adventures trek along the Amalfi Coast.

Agerola’s Unique Appeal

Agerola combines breathtaking views, cultural heritage, and culinary excellence. Its location at 630 metres above sea level offers panoramic vistas of the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Salerno. Historical discoveries, such as the necropolis from the 9th century BC in Bomerano, reveal the area’s deep-rooted past. The village is also renowned for producing fiordilatte mozzarella, a highlight of its local gastronomy. For hikers, Agerola serves as a gateway to some of the most scenic trails in Italy.
