Enjoyed experiencing this amazing trail with my wife on our vacation. We hiked this trail during the off-season in November, so we only came across a handful of other hikers and some cats. We were extremely lucky to get the perfect three hour window without rain to reach Vernazza from Monterosso al Mare. I recommend this trail, especially during off-season, to anyone wanting to walk a perfect path.
A must do. Don't take the train walk the trails
Good trail. Beautiful/one of a kind views. Heavily trafficked (and it was end of October and overcast). Go early. Ocean view Trails are closed if/when it rains hard, which is logical due yo smooth stones of path and hard packed dirt.
A hike you will never forget, challenging but worth it
Amazing hike. Nice to start with a coffee at Levanto beach, then steady incline up to a peak with incredible views of the entire Cinque Terre. Well maintained trails, awesome sea views and nicely scented plants. Steep decline into Monterosso.
Much easier this direction than the reverse - the incline is gentle with awesome views of Vernazza. Nice coastal walk with meandering trail. Steep decline at the end but finishes on the beach for a swim!
Nice walk, bit of an incline but easily manageable. Nice views of the coast. Slippery when it’s wet.
We began around 10:15 in Camogli and made it to San Fruottoso by 13:00 before making the trek back around 15:00 (not advisable for those who don’t enjoy direct sun.) Many switchbacks and rapid elevation gains, some scrambling, and use of chains. Challenging, but absolutely beautiful.
Very rocky which it made it challenging as it just rained. Good hike overall and a beautiful view
Loved the hike. Tough inclines and challenging but the beauty at the top is so worth it.
Not as busy as the other trails and more natural.
Cinque Terre Hike
This is my first review. It was a great trip between towns.
We loved hiking this segment! Beautiful!
This was one of my favorite experiences of studying abroad. It is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful if you can avoid the foot traffic. If you have the chance, don’t pass up this hike!
pretty awesome. lots of traffic jams though
Fun hike with beautiful views. Lots of stairs!
Stunning ocean views and 3 of the 5 towns.
Beautiful but very crowded even off season.
A beautiful hike which you can end with a dip in the Ligurian Sea
excellent trail from Vernazza to Corniglia. well marked. majority of the first part of trail is steps uphill. Second part is mostly downhill but smaller steps. moderate difficulty, but certainly doable
Nice trail with a couple of gorgeous views of the towns.
Trail a little steep at the beginning and end especially on the Monterosso side. Great views. Well marked with red & white trail markers.
Did Vernazza to Corniglia. Some climbing, worth it.
