Hiking the Cinque Terre

5:00 PM

Heading for the Cinque Terre – five villages

Over six days, we hike along the rugged Ligurian coast, from the charming Sestri Levante to the lively La Spezia. Along the way, we pass through the five colorful villages of the Cinque Terre—Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore—each with its own character, steep alleyways, and views over the azure-blue sea.

We follow the famous Sentiero Azzurro, occasionally opting for higher, quieter mountain paths. Each day brings new vistas, challenging climbs, and terraces filled with grapes and lemons. A journey of contrasts: between silence and bustle, sea and mountains, effort and relaxation—ending each day with a plate of pasta or a glass of crisp local white wine from the region.
