About
A 140 km cultural walk through Calabria. From Capo Vaticano's cliffs to Monasterace's shores, the Cammino del Normanno traces Count Roger II's legacy, Norman castles and the Carthusian monastery of Serra San Bruno stand as silent witnesses.
Eight stages, 6,979 m of elevation gain, and a diverse terrain that shifts from coastal paths to rugged mountains. Breathe in the scent of wild rosemary as you traverse charming towns like Ricadi and Gerocarne.
This isn’t just a walk; it’s a journey through history, culture, and the soul of a region that whispers its stories in every step.
