(S) From the platforms of Monterosso Al Mare station, take Via Fegina, which runs along the coast, and follow it to the left. Continue along the sea and reach the centre of the old town of Monterosso.
(1) Continue to the right and follow the red and white SVA markings, which lead you up a staircase that quickly takes you up among the vineyards.
(2) Monterosso checkpoint. There is a charge to access the trail, either on site or by purchasing an appropriate pass.
Continue climbing, following the signs. Red and white markings are present along the entire trail.
(3) As the trail moves away from the coast, cross a small stone bridge over a stream. This is followed by a slight descent and then a long, fairly flat section where the path runs along the hillside. Simply continue along the trail.
(4) Begin the descent towards Vernazza. The final descent is fairly easy and offers magnificent views of the town. This series of panoramic views makes the trail even more enjoyable.
Once in the village, take a small staircase that descends steeply to the right. It leads to a magnificent square in front of the church, where there is a drinking fountain (E).
