Daily Program

Porto Venere » Tramonti
Altitude difference: 600 meters over 8 kilometers

We meet at 10:00 AM at La Spezia central station from where we reach Porto Venere by bus. Our adventure begins here!. After a short sightseeing tour of this beautiful seaside town, we begin to climb in altitude embraced by the light of the sea. Our destination is not far away and we have plenty of time to take photos and enjoy nature.

La Spezia station is easily reachable the same morning by train from Milan, Turin, Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome and beyond.

Tramonti » Manarola
Altitude difference: 700 meters over 10 kilometers

Compared with the previous day, today is a little longer, but thanks to the sea and good company we don't even realize it. We head toward the Cinque Terre National Park and after an initial stretch at altitude, we suddenly descend to Riomaggiore. From here we move on to Manarola where we stay overnight and most importantly enjoy a well-deserved local dinner accompanied by excellent wines.

Manarola » Monterosso
Altitude difference: 800 meters over 12 kilometers

On the third day we will go through all the ancient villages of the Cinque Terre, from Manarola to Monterosso via Corniglia and Vernazza. This is the most beautiful day although the most challenging because of its length. Along the way we will have the opportunity to stop often for photos. In each village a coffee break is a must! Arriving in Monterosso, tired but happy, we enjoy the sunset and get ready for another tasty dinner at the restaurant.

Monterosso » Levanto
Altitude difference: 500 meters over 7 kilometers

We continue our tour for this last day that will take us "beyond" the Cinque Terre to reach the beautiful town of Levanto. Our hike ends here. In 4 days, from Porto Venere to Levanto, we had the chance to enjoy all the enchantment of the Cinque Terre from a different perspective.

We are scheduled to arrive in Levanto around 1:00 PM in time to catch the train to go back to Milan, Turin, Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome or other cities.
