I understand there is a trail in the Cinque Terre region. It connects the old towns and travels on the cliffs over looking the sea. Others have tried but the videos are of poor quality or they can't resist turning the camera on themselves and talking away. Of course any part of Italy is wonderful!! Thank you so much!
Great Video, it's almost puts me back there having walked the same route just last week. You are obviously fit as I must have stopped several times but the temp was 39° c Italy having a heatwave at the time. Thank-you for taking the time to do this, I'm sure it will help people understand better the Volcano as, not everyone can do this. Grazie.
man, you are my Hero! This is one-off "walk", more of a "runnin' to the top",leaving em all behind.... with such a clean image view!! Thank you again, you are the greatest, this movie proves it....your Pompeii Ruins are yet another proof....keep walking, man!!! Don't ever stop!
Yeah, it is kind of funny to watch this one in fast forward. I tend to walk pretty fast. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I am working in several new videos and am heading out on new walks all the time. Right now I am back in the US so I did Seattle and then heading to Vancouver BC and then to San Francisco. Thanks for watching!
@@ProWalks Yep- and it actually started climbing into a tour bus after buffet breakfast in Rome, I think we left the city at about 8:30. VERY long day.

I done the mount Etna one in 2001 during a mild eruption it was mind blowing. 2 locals were making souvenir ashtrays from the Milton rock. Thanks for this video bought back some great memories.
Thanks a lot for keeping the original sound!! It feels like I am right there, something I won't be able to do. Wonderful walk, I did not know that you could go up the Vesuvius.
Bravo! Your stamina on that walk is exceptional. Thank you so much for these videos. As a geology nerd, this was an absolute treat. The next coffee is on me.
Grazie! Yeah, I should have picked up some rock or at least focused in on some a little more but I hope you were able to get the feel of it all. Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Thank you so much for the great tour! Your videos always bring us a lot of pleasure and a lot of positive emotions! You wish great health and prosperity to your channel! We are looking forward to new video captures!
Oh my, this was just fabulous. The camera work was spectacular. Boy, you are in really good shape to keep the pace all the way up. I enjoyed this so much. Thank you.
Thanks! Yeah, at the time I was still focused on making "treadmill" videos so I didn't want to pause too much or go too slow. I've changed my approach now a bit.
Beautiful! Vesuvius is so historical. I love to read Pliny the Younger's account when it blew in AD79. Geologists claim that it will become active and blow again sometime in the future.
Yeah, it's amazing how important Pliny's account was of the eruption. What he witnessed was so insane that many refused to believe it for years to come.
Beautiful video of your hike on Mount Vesuvius, was in Naples this fall wanted to go but had no more time left of my vacation, so this video really made me feel as if I went there myself, thank you so much for an excellent video!!! :)
In one of the below comments I believe you offered to accept suggestions where you could go for a great walk elsewhere in Italy. It would bring back great memories if you could go to Val d'Aosta at Valnontey and walk up the steep trail to the Rifugio Vittorio Sella. Stupendous views of mountains and valleys. The uphill walk lasted three hours for me but you'll likely manage to reach in just one hour. The trail continues beyond and higher, but it was too much. I was 23 years old, while today I am 60! Thank you. Luigi
I was scheduled to go on this tour but cancelled because of bad weather. I'm glad I cancelled I didn't know the hike up thew volcano was that steep and long. Great video, thanks for posting.
Vesuvius is safe for a walk. If something about the volcano will change, they will surely close it off to the visitor way before it erupts. I walked on Vesuvius and unlike many dormant volcanoes, it doesn't smell (I've read somewhere that volcanoes might smell). It was during my school years, and there was a guy that tried to make Vesuvius erupt :D
Hey, that's great! I just uploaded a new Vesuvius hike to my channel last night.....same one as this video, but filmed this August. The video will be posted in a week or two. Are you spending a day in each place? You can do Herculaneum and Mt. Vesuvius in one day but I would recommend spending a whole day at Pompeii.
Hey, Thanks Dave. Yeah the weather is finally nice here. I went up to Rome a few weeks ago and shot the rest of the video. The whole thing is almost 15 miles and 6 hours long. I should be able to finish it tonight...then it will take another day to get it exported and posted up. It is going to be a huge file to upload.
ProWalks honestly I can't wait for the new video,but I do understand the whole process can be tedius,these walks have given a new life to my love for italy,by the way I am Humaira,Dave is my husband ,I am on his tablet..
Hi there - I am visiting Naples soon and am going to climb up Mount Vesuvius, but I can't decide which trail to hike up (there are 11 trails), and was wondering which trail this is? Since you can see Mt Somma at 2:27, is this trail number 3, "Mount Somma", which lasts five and a half hours?
Thanks! It is not too long of a walk really. I don't remember if I stopped to take a break or not.....maybe I stopped to change a camera battery, but for the most park, it took as long as it shows in the video, about 20 minutes. I was walking pretty fast though. :)
There was some steam pouring out while I was there. I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it up there because of all the recent fires but the roads were all open.
I repeat all that everyone said on here and thank you for pointing out Pompeii, even though one couldn't see anything one can imagine that pyroclastic flow running down the mountain straight for Pompeii and Herculaneum. I can't even imagine the horror!
I have trekked a few hills in my country, India but never trekked a valcano hill. You have done a good job in reaching the top in one go overtaking everyone but still maintaining a steady pace. Only lava rocks, everywhere and no tree to take a shade under. I don't think the path goes round the crater. Is it allowed to step into the crater? What is the length of the road and the height of the hill?What was the temperature when you trekkrd? May i know the equipment and the camera you used? Thank u for rare coverage.
@@ProWalks I was a child there in the 1960's. The chairlift was decommissioned in the early 1980's. The arrival of large tour groups meant there was no profit bringing people to the top 2 at a time on a chairlift. Prior to the chairlift, there was a funicular bringing people to the top. The funicular was destroyed in the 1944 eruption. Those large cable anchors seen at 17:00 might be part of the old funicular, or they might be part of the old chairlift. Not sure.
It's still steaming and expected to erupt again. If you look at the Naples area on Google Earth, you can see that this entire area is covered with volcanic craters.
Вельмі рады што падпісаны на Ваш канал, заусёды стаулю Вашым вiдыё👍падабайкi. Гэта відэа проста выкананне майго жадання прайсціся па схілах Везувія, да яго кратэра, паглядзець з гэтай вышыні на ўсю навакольную прыгажосць пад дахам Еўропы.Prowalk Tours - дзякуй 👏
Sure, i am using an EVO SS Gimbal, gopro hero 5 black... Although in the Vesuvius video i think i was using the Hero 3 black and then a quik pod selfie extreme, which is definitely the best selfie stick I've used.... Sounds kind of silly to say but I really like it.
Thanks bro..in my next family trip i should consider changing my canon camera for a gopro on my head . The gopro hero seems to have good quality ,thanks again..
U got fast feet bro lol.... So, if u were to go there by private car, do u leave the car at a specific carpark at or near the base, then take a special bus up to the walking track start point? Is that the procedure, and how much is that bus in Euro's? I'm assuming u get given an hour and a half to complete everything, yeah?
Yeah, when I made this video I was still in the mindset of making treadmill videos so I was trying to walk fast....and I walk fast in general. I've had to learn to walk slower in my newer walks. So when you go to Vesuvius, you park along the side of the road about a half-mile down hill from where I started the walk. You can park and walk up or take a shuttle van for a few euro. I've walked back down to my car before but it is definitely worth paying a few euro to take the van up. You can spend as much time as you'd like. You just have to wait for the next available shuttle van when it's time to leave but they arrive every 10 to 15 minutes. It is a pretty easy day. There are other hikes you can take in the area but so far I've only walked up to the crater.
You drive almost to the top, park on the side of the road and take a shuttle the rest of the way up. Then you buy a ticket and walk up the remaining part to the crater. It is not very far and a pretty easy walk.
Spartacus and his men rested here in the side of Vesuvius as well...in the times of ceaser and Pompei Cleopatra....this place is steeped in history.....pardon the pun
non si capisce presso quale paese si trova questa MERAVIGLIA ABBANDONATA , trattasi di un anfiteatro abbandonato alla repentina rovina , IN ITALIA SI FA QUESTO E ALTRO
What if it erupts suddenly...like the mount taal in the phils..its erupts with out signs and warning..even the volcanologist got surprised their instruments didnt detect. If this volcano erupt suddenly you guys are the one to be blame.your bringing your family in danger zone. The lahar will flow from the crater down the slope faster than the light.haha how can you escape..the victims are you people who spent your money for pleasure.forgetting the needy,the hunger. Naked .who need your money.spent for selfish gratification.the God knows you are idolizing this mount.instrument to punish the world.

Just spectacular!! I will never be able to go there and do the walk, so thank you for bringing it to me.
If there are any other places you'd like to see in Italy just let me know and I'll try to go there.

Oh my! Long walk! Thanks for the effort and hardwork! What a view! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Well done you! 👍😀
I did this in June 2017- absolutely spectacular. Vesuvius in the morning, Pompeii all afternoon, then off to the hotel on Capri!
That is a long day!

WOW! Now that's what I call a trek among no other! That one section that had slid was very scary indeed. Brave soul you are!

Splendid Nature. Wow fabulous nice clean video .....
Thanks a lot for keeping the original sound!! It feels like I am right there, something I won't be able to do. Wonderful walk, I did not know that you could go up the Vesuvius.
Glad you enjoyed it. There are other hikes around the volcano too. I'd like to do those at some point too.
Sonia Rodríguez sane here. I didn’t know it was allowed or able to go up the Vesuvius. I’m glad it’s possible.
Great video, thank you.
I love Vesuvio. I have climbed to the crater 20 times.

Fantástico vídeo. !! Maravilloso. !! Que potencia la del cámara para subir. !! Bravo. !!!! Maravillosa visita. Gracias. !!
You are great i love all your videos.
Oh my lord, spectacular! Definitely on my list!
Long walk ........ thank you for your hard work again ........

Stomping on it.
Raffaela Viglietti Well, some people love adventure! I do!
Terrific video, loved it thanks for sharing.👍
Just incredible, thank you man. Will be there in few weeks.
Cool, let me know if you have any questions about getting around. I hope you have a good trip.
Thanks, watching your videos is good enough, one can know what to expect. :)
Lovely feel to it! Thank you!!
Hey, thanks for watching. I'll be posting up a new Mt. Vesuvis walk soon.
Yes I will be both tour's.
I contacted Rivera travels and they are doing the volcano tour at a extra cost.
I thought i let you know.
Great video. Wish there was more time spent on the actual opening of my. Vesuvius.
I'll go again. Good idea. :) thanks for the suggestion.
Visited Pompeii and Herculaneum Vesuvius next after watching this video thanks 👍😎
Great! Thanks for watching! I am working on the rest of the Pompeii videos right now. I have a couple more hours of Pompeii to post up.
I will be looking forward to do tour the volcano first week of November this year when i visit and site seing Pompeii and hurculaneum.

Had thoroughly enjoyed this video. It satiated my curiosity of Mt Vesuvius. Like Chris P, I wont be able to be there myself. Thanks, Prowalk Tours.
Breathtaking,and a good excercise too...no new videos?...is the weather still bad in Rome?

Cara!!!! você é um atleta,muito bom suas postagem,me escrevi no seu canal
Wow - not one person passed you - Herculean effort...I dont want to appear too macabre but I kept waiting for you to topple over the edge
Ha.. Yeah it is kind if funny to watch this video in fast forward.
I don't think that I'm at the same fitness level. We were considering walk it until I watched your video. Thank you for sharing.
:) it really isn't too bad. I just walk fast. There are benches and there is no need to hurry. Thanks for watching!
It's not a steep grade climb at all, just take your time and frequent breaks.
BRAVO Dude .........................Just plain OFF the HOOK !!!
Did this walk many years ago with my son.
Hi there - I am visiting Naples soon and am going to climb up Mount Vesuvius, but I can't decide which trail to hike up (there are 11 trails), and was wondering which trail this is? Since you can see Mt Somma at 2:27, is this trail number 3, "Mount Somma", which lasts five and a half hours?
This was my first volcano/mountain peak I reached in my life...probably and last
It seems like a much longer walk now? When I did it back in '98, it didn't feel/seem so long. Did they change the route?
Awesome footage! How long did it take you to reach the top?
Thanks! It is not too long of a walk really. I don't remember if I stopped to take a break or not.....maybe I stopped to change a camera battery, but for the most park, it took as long as it shows in the video, about 20 minutes. I was walking pretty fast though. :)
It may explode any time!!🎥
There was some steam pouring out while I was there. I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it up there because of all the recent fires but the roads were all open.
Q: the view at 1:30 is it Napoli?
Yes, that is Naples. You can see it a little better at 17:23.
I repeat all that everyone said on here and thank you for pointing out Pompeii, even though one couldn't see anything one can imagine that pyroclastic flow running down the mountain straight for Pompeii and Herculaneum. I can't even imagine the horror!

Incredible
When I was a kid, we took the chairlift to the top. The remains of it can be seen at 17:00.

Should take u up Black Mountain. An Active Volcano here. Though not as easy as this.
Knowing my luck it would probably erupt in the middle of the hike lol.
It's still steaming and expected to erupt again. If you look at the Naples area on Google Earth, you can see that this entire area is covered with volcanic craters.
Campi Flegrei is the super volcano (like Yellowstone) in the area near Naples

The distance is not too far. It is about 1.6 km to the top.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks !!! Nice sporting skills !!! Jealous ...
This is great
Muito bom♥♠♥
I see a three-year-old in this video. Several kids actually. How did they get up there?
You drive almost to the top, park on the side of the road and take a shuttle the rest of the way up. Then you buy a ticket and walk up the remaining part to the crater. It is not very far and a pretty easy walk.
ESPECTACULAR
This volcano is expected to go again anytime soon. I wouldn't go for real right now. ;)
There are no signs Vesuvius is about to wake up right now. This volcano will give warning signs in advance.
Great vid! But what about Herculaneum
Just search Heculaneum walking tour and you will find my walk.
Ok
Three weeks that will be me....lifelong ambition realised 👍
Looks like a weak mountain but a strong destroyer.
It’s all fun and games till the volcano blows!🌋💥🔥💀☠️
Spartacus and his men rested here in the side of Vesuvius as well...in the times of ceaser and Pompei Cleopatra....this place is steeped in history.....pardon the pun
are you from italy?
No, I am from Washington State, but I have been living here in Italy for the last five years.
Missing Capri
19:03 i think someone call me at..
O pessoal é muito sem noção, como é que leva animal, criança e idosos para um passeio desses.🇧🇷
Right in the mouth of vesuvius the business end.
Its terrifying.
