Lago Santo
A beautiful hike. The relatively steep climb is rewarded with a view of this lake.
Note: if you want to hike all the way around the lake (to the left), you will have to cross a scree slope. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can hike to the right to the mountain hut.

Departure from Vernazza (La Spezia)
A beautiful walk offering a wide variety of landscapes between the coast and the ridges, passing through terraced farmland. Starting from Vernazza, the walk passes through San Bernardino before reaching the ridge at Sella della Cigoletta, then descends to Corniglia, the only village in the Cinque Terre not overlooking the sea. After visiting this unique village, the return to Vernazza follows the magnificent coastal path (SVA).
