A 77-year-old woman from the province of Turin was injured after a serious fall on the Sentiero degli Dei, near marker tile 10.
The operations center of 118 in Salerno dispatched the helicopter rescue service and activated the Campania branch of the Corpo Nazionale Soccorso Alpino e Speleologico (CNSAS). On site, the woman was stabilized by the helicopter crew, recovered by winch, and transferred to the San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona hospital in Salerno.
The report does not give the exact time of the incident or the cause of the fall. It also does not provide a detailed diagnosis or further information on her condition after the hospital transfer.
The trail
The Sentiero degli Dei connects Bomerano, in the municipality of Agerola, with Nocelle, a hamlet of Positano, on the slopes of the Monti Lattari.
The Club Alpino Italiano describes the main route as CAI 327, about 5.3 kilometres long, with a maximum elevation of 630 metres and a minimum elevation of 437 metres. The route includes exposed sections, and CAI documentation notes a 327a variant that is less exposed than the more panoramic route.
