A former route of smuggling, today is a hiking trail whose reputation remains intimate. People in the region themselves do not often know its existence. It must be said, in their discharge, that nobody is prophet in his country. The beautiful walks of this region are regularly forgotten from the guides, except for specialist ones. Yet the trail of gods is from beginning to end clearly reported. The location is small and the difference is relatively low. As you walk along the path you discover the deep beauty of the peninsula. The small churches, the old fields to the stone terraces, the abandoned houses, the woods, and the typical Mediterranean scrub. On the steps of gods comes from mystical moments, such as those landscapes where one still seems to hear the whisper of the sirens. It is not he, unfortunately, but the wind that goes back to the steep hills of the mountains, too bad, the sirens are on Positano's beach. In fact, the trail passes over the villages of Positano and Praiano.

Once you reach the church, a large parking lot allows you to park your car. After the parking lot it takes a few meters, then take directly on the right and follow a wide road. A dozen meters further, a crossroads, take again right then continue straight away. After leaving a property with a terrace, the road divides into two.

If you have children, a small park with swings is on the road to the summit. The climb to the top is fast and quite stiff. The trail passes over the Diable devil's hole, when the wind blows in this sector, its marriage with the rock rock creates a mystical mélodie of natural didjéridou. After the music, we arrive at the summit, then draw to the distance the Stroll of Capri and on the side of the islets of Galli, where Homer situates the sirens. Then we continue a little further, but without climbing, the show becomes more grandiose every step, until a, the revelation, the certainty of being on the steps of the gods.
