The Route

From Positano, the road climbs steeply up the hillside with panoramic views back over the village. At the top, you cross the ridge of the Lattari Mountains through a series of tunnels and bends. The descent into Sorrento is gentler, passing through small towns on the Sorrento Peninsula. The entire drive takes about 40 minutes.
