Embark on Liguria Trail - Stage 4, a challenging hike that covers 14.0 miles (22.6 km) with a significant elevation gain of 4262 feet (1299 metres). This route takes you through the rugged inland trails of Cinque Terre, connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola via Volastra. You will experience demanding climbs and descents, passing through terraced vineyards and offering glimpses of the Ligurian coast from various vantage points, including a notable panoramic view of Manarola.
Planning for this difficult stage means setting aside a full day, as it typically takes 9 hours and 5 minutes to complete. Make sure you wear sturdy hiking shoes to handle the varied terrain and carry plenty of water, especially during warmer months. Before you head out, check for any local conditions or seasonal closures, as parts of the trail within the National Park might have specific access requirements or temporary restrictions.
This stage is a deep dive into the less-traveled parts of the Cinque Terre, moving away from the immediate coastline to explore the region's agricultural heartland. You will pass by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Health in Volastra, a historic site that adds a cultural layer to your journey. The trail highlights the unique way locals have adapted to the steep landscape, with ancient stone paths winding through cultivated terraces.
