April 11, 2025,Etappe 2: Riomaggiore - Vernazza

On the second day, you'll be back on a sweaty hike, sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill, along the coast to Vernazza. The ancient paths high above the sea offer fantastic views and lead you through sunny vineyards, olive groves, and along dry-stone walls and steep slopes. I found the small wine terraces along the way particularly inviting. Treat yourself to a …

July 24, 2021,Tour delle 5 Terre

A very difficult hike with many ups and downs and dangerous passages beside precipices and without protection. Definitely for experienced trekkers. Children from 12 years of age can do it but must be closely supervised. However, the panorama offered by the path is stupendous and repays the efforts. The stretch from Corniglia to Monterosso is subject to payment.

April 6, 2022,Quattro\Cinque Terre

To be honest, I was a bit doubting if this would be interesting enough for me, or if it was just supposed to be a hyped walk. But it was only the beginning of April, so I hoped not to have too many people, especially on the more difficult paths, and thus to have the sound of the sea and …

What a tour 🥵

You climb up a mountain and then a hat seller is waiting at the top. I don't know if he even sold one...
After the first village, my girls dropped out - it was just too exhausting for them. So it turned out to be two unplanned tours.

April 11, 2024,Da Riomaggiore a Vernazza

The first part from Riomaggiore to Manatola is a very demanding route... the path of love along the sea is inaccessible so you have to go up 200 meters in altitude and then go all the way back down on high, steep and tiring stone steps... the rest are paths comfortable and calm...Komoot tells me that the movement time is …

Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore, an excursion full of ups and downs with a beautiful route, in the heart of the 5 Terre, among incredible villages, enchanting landscapes and tasting of good wines.
A truly great party in the company of my Partner🙋‍♂️
