Liguria walks

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.

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! (!) User comment 30-09-2025: there is a charge for the trail or it is included in the train ticket

This trail offers spectacular views of Corniglia and Vernazza, as well as San Bernardino at the top of the hill. If you decide to take this trail, you are guaranteed picturesque views. You will pass through olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean scrub. There is a panoramic viewpoint over the famous village and its medieval tower from the trail near Vernazza. Moderator's note : paid hike, see reviews.

A very beautiful stage, more challenging and less crowded at the entrance to the Cinque Terre, with beautiful views of the sea.

The essentials of Manarola, with a circular that overlooks the most beautiful of the Cinque Terre villages. Breathtaking views of the village and the harbour await you, as do the most traditional images of the narrow streets.

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

A challenging hike offering fabulous views of the Italian, Monegasque and French coastlines, preceded by a path that winds through the greenhouse crops of Grimaldi. At the end of the day, the azure waters of Cap Mortala beach (spiaggia di capo Mortala) near your vehicle will offer you a refreshing swim. December 2025 Please note: a footbridge overlooking the sea is damaged at the start of the hike. It is impossible to walk around it. Start the hike from the village of Grimaldi.

The forts of Genoa are a series of military fortifications dating from different periods that the Republic of Genoa built to defend the urban territory of the Ligurian capital throughout its history. The construction projects were also resumed and used during the Napoleonic era, the Risorgimento and during the First and Second World Wars.This defensive system represents the longest city walls in Europe and the second longest in the world.

Access to Riomaggiore is via inland and less frequented paths. Depart from the church in Manarola and arrive at the castle in Riomaggiore by following marked paths through vineyards and groves.

A magnificent, easy hike straddling Italy and France. Superb panoramic views of the Nervia Valley and the Ligurian Alps, then the Roya Valley and the peaks of the Mercantour. On a clear day, you can see Mont Viso and Corsica.

Starting from the entrance to the national park on the edge of Rochetta Nervina, this hike will take you up into the mountains, accompanied by the gentle sound of the Barbaira, to Pont de Cin.Some sections are on the side of a cliff, with stony paths, which should be avoided if it has rained recently. In good weather, these sections are not particularly difficult. Hike without description to be followed with the Visorando app.

Breathtaking views of the entire bay, ridges, an authentic village and cows in season are what you will discover on this hike. The route is very well marked.

This beautiful hike will allow you to discover the Portofino National Park (Ente Parco Naturale Portofino | Sito Ufficiale) The hike starts at Camogli station and ends in the town of Portofino.

This route takes you from Santuario di Nostra Signora di Montenero to Monte Della Madonna, over Monte Dei Fraschi, and back towards the road via Toretto. I stopped at Monte Della Madonna for a well deserved lunch break.
