The Journey
Cinque Terre National Park
Experience the thrill of exploring Cinque Terre National Park on foot, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery and picturesque villages. This guided hiking day from Florence offers a challenging yet rewarding trek across rugged terrains, with approximately 1.5 hours of hiking covering 4 km and ascending over 1,000 steps. Discover breathtaking views and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this iconic Italian landscape.
Corniglia
Discover Corniglia, the second of the five Cinque Terre villages and the only one not directly accessible by sea. Its unique position atop a high cliff offers stunning panoramic views. Starting our exploration directly in the Cinque Terre saves valuable travel time, skipping the need for two train rides from La Spezia. Embrace the authentic charm of this village, known for its vineyards and serene atmosphere.
Guvano Beach Stairs (Corniglia)
Challenge yourself with the ascent of the iconic 382-step staircase leading from the train station to Corniglia village. This demanding climb rewards you with breathtaking views and marks the starting point of our scenic hike from Corniglia towards Vernazza. This is the main access point to the famously secluded Guvano Beach.
Vernazza
Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Vernazza, often considered the most charming of the Cinque Terre villages. Arriving on foot, hiking through the national park, you'll truly appreciate its colorful houses clinging to the hillside and its lively harbor filled with fishing boats. We will pause here for a well-deserved lunch, savoring local flavors amidst stunning coastal views, and experience the vibrancy of one of Italy's most photogenic destinations. Vernazza is famous for its protective castle ruins and vibrant piazza.
Monterosso al Mare
Conclude your Cinque Terre exploration in Monterosso al Mare, the largest and flattest of the five towns. Unique for its extensive sandy beach, Monterosso offers a relaxing contrast to the rugged trails. This is the furthest village before we journey back towards Manarola. Explore its charming old town, sample the local seafood, and soak up the sun on the only substantial beach in Cinque Terre.
