A very lovely walk overall, ideal for getting off the heavily touristed trails of the Cinque Terre.
The route starts in Framura; it’s magnificent as far as Bonassola, but less interesting on the way to Levanto.

Departure from Levanto (La Spezia)
Trail in the Cinque Terre region from Levanto to Monterosso, the first village in the Cinque Terre (near Genoa and Pisa in Italy), following the SVA trail closest to the coast.
Levanto is one of the best places to visit the five villages by train and go hiking.
This allows you to walk from Levanto to Monterosso without taking the train at the start. Return by train.

An original approach to this beautiful peak west of Monterosso. Here, we follow a wide circular ridge path passing via Monte Negro (444 m) and Monte Focone (486 m). The views are spectacular on both the northern side (Levanto) and the southern side (Monterosso). The Verde Azzurro path is only used for the return journey.

Hike starting from Monterosso al Mare, exploring the local heritage and offering beautiful views of the hinterland and the coast. From the village’s railway station, cross through the old part of the village, passing beneath the Aurora Tower, then climb up to the important 10th-century sanctuary of the Madonna di Soviore; follow the ridge path via Monte Santa Croce before a pleasant and fairly easy descent to Vernazza via the 13th-century Madonna di Reggio.

This is one of the most beautiful trails on the Cinque Terre coast. Passing through vineyards and forests with Mediterranean vegetation, it offers magnificent views at every turn with the sea as a backdrop. Fairly easy despite a steep climb at the start, it allows you to soak up the atmosphere of the Cinque Terre!

A surprising hike that avoids the Azzuro trail, which is currently closed between these two villages. Very strenuous, as it goes from a steep climb to a dizzying descent. If you're afraid of stairs, don't attempt it!
