Panoramic view over Porto Venere and the Ligurian Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

This trail is a stunningly beautiful hike, with repeated, magnificent views of the sea. However, the path is narrow and runs along a steep slope.

The Campiglia windmill is located right on the AV5T route, easily reachable in a few minutes from the main square of the village. A very particular building, which tells a lot in its structure and simplicity of the territory.

Very scenic route sometimes a little narrow or with some rocks to pass. I would never do it in late spring or summer

Today we were on a fantastic tour,
we just went one foot in front of the other...
Steep coast to love with a wide view,

Steep slopes and narrow paths,
blue sea 🌊 and the sun ☀️ is laughing 🤭
the ship 🛟⚓️ brought us back to Monterosso 🥰🙋‍♂️

We were blessed with fantastically beautiful weather 🌞 for our last day of hiking in this magnificent landscape. 🤗

From Riomaggiore, we first climbed to the associated pilgrimage site of Montenero. Unfortunately, this pilgrimage church also didn't allow us to enter, but the view from here is indescribably beautiful! 😊

There are only a few easy passages here. But if you are in good shape, you can manage this hike - even if it …
