If you are in Positano, Montepertuso hamlet, you can reach the path from Nocelle, where there is a little parking and uphill walk. Agerola offers the most convenient solution for parking and convenient access to the path. From the square of the Bomerano hamlet (Piazza Paolo Capasso), take Via Pennino and, after about 300 m, at some steps, turn right and cross a wooden bridge. You then go up a flight of steps and reach a road, which you follow – on the left – until it becomes a mule track with a concrete surface. After a bend downhill, you are at Grotta del Biscotto. Continue on a dirt path and, with modest ups and downs, you reach the Colle la Serra pass. At the height of a ruin, take the steps on the left that pass a fountain where you can stock up on water, continuing the path in the direction of Positano, after an easy path you arrive in the locality of Li Cannati, near the ruin of the shepherd Antonio Badoglio, hospitable host. Below are the coordinates to help you reach the crag comfortably.
