MONTE VICO ALVANO

The summit, one of the highest in the urbanized area of ​​the coast, grants a breathtaking landscape. Thanks to its strategic position, the view covers both the Sorrento peninsula from Vico Equenze to Sorrento, the area of ​​Monte Faito, and also the entire first part of the Amalfi Coast.

The trail is a destination for many groups of people, with or without guides, and it doesn't have many difficulties, at the point that it can be easily covered in less than two hours.
