Corniglia Vernazza
Through the vineyard and olive groves, this is easier than the Monterosso – Vernazza trail. There’s a bar at the halfway point of the trail, where you can recharge.
What you need:
- Cinque Terre card (link).
- Bring an ID.
Suggestions:
- It might be a tad easier starting from Corniglia and going in the directions of Vernazza , but what goes up goes down, so the difference is minimal.
- Bring water, wear correct footwear and sunscreen.
- Start early to avoid crowds as this trail will get busy in the summer.
It might be a little bit easier going from Corniglia to Vernazza , but it’s all up and down, so I don’t think it makes much difference.
This trail itself is well marked, but to find the trailhead, always look for the red and white stripes.
