Hiking

Hike the moderate Sentiero Liguria Stage 5, a 4.8-mile (7.8 km) route from Monterosso to Bonassola. This trail involves an elevation gain of 930 feet (284 metres) and typically takes about 2 hours and 53 minutes to complete. You will experience the transition from the shade of the Cinque Terre forest, where ancient trees filter the sunlight, to open vistas of the Ligurian Sea. Along the way, look for charming water fountains, including a unique sculptural one, adding character to your journey.

Planning your visit is straightforward, as the trail is well-marked and maintained. You can easily reach Monterosso, the starting point, by train. After completing your hike in Bonassola, you can return by train from there as well, making public transport a convenient option for this linear route. Consider starting your hike in the morning to enjoy cooler temperatures and clearer views.

This stage is part of the official Sentiero Liguria network, offering a less crowded alternative to the popular Sentiero Azzurro. It still provides the stunning coastal scenery the region is known for, with sweeping views of Levanto Bay and its colorful houses. You will also pass the artistic Bed & Breakfast MareMisco, known for its creative sculptures and garden art, which offers an unexpected cultural highlight.

Panoramic excursion (SVA path) that starts from the Levanto coast. First you meet some stairs, then you go along a stretch of asphalted road and then you continue on a panoramic path that also crosses a wood.
Arriving at the Punta, all 5 towns can be seen from above: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore.

How much we love these panoramic routes overlooking the sea that many of you have requested and suggested, especially in winter! No heat, beautiful light, tranquility. We conclude this way, with the incomparable splendor of the Verde Azzurro trail, a 2024 full of commitments. This time we'll be back soon, we promise! :-P

Beautiful tour with great views. Descent a bit steep but great views and worth it. Monterosso seems to be in the "Lonley Planet" for both the number of Asian and English-speaking young people 😅 Return journey with the regional train (very modern and comfortable, as far as you can tell on 5 km, but at €12.50 it's not exactly cheap …

Over the coastal path to Levanto and back again across the hill. Unfortunately, I pressed the wrong button in Levanto, so I had to record the tour without going back. It will then be saved as a separate tour...

From Levanto train station, first follow the road over the river bridge, then left and then right through the pedestrian zone to the beach. There, turn left and climb the stairs between the villas, offering picturesque views of the bay. Later, continue uphill past the artist's villa. Unfortunately, you then have to walk along the paved road for a section, …
