The entrance to the Alcantara Gorge via the "communal access" (stairs, €1.50) is tucked away in the middle between two parts of the commercial park (elevator, >€10). The associated parking lot is a hundred meters to the south on the opposite side of the street. Down in the grandiose gorge you meet again seamlessly from both approaches. Definitely take swimwear and water shoes if you want to go further into the gorge.

A staircase (€2 per person, payable at the kiosk on the street) leads down to the Gole Dell' Alcantara. The stairs are mostly shaded and not particularly steep.
