Choose from 3 itineraries from 3 to 9 hours. Minimum time required is 4 hrs. One of the 'classic' walks of the world.
1. Cinque-Terre Villages: Graded GREEN, Village Visits Only Tour, 3 to 8 hrs. Monterosso - Vernazza - Riomaggiore.
2. Walk & Visit: Graded BLUE, Walking Visit, 3.5 to 8 hrs. Monterosso - Vernazza - Manarola - Riomaggiore.
3. Medium Walk: Graded RED, Walking Tour, 5.5 to 9 hrs. Monterosso by train or boat - Monterosso - Vernazza - Corniglia - Manarola - Riomaggiore.
Levels of Difficulty
GREEN : Requiring no walking experience at all, typically for those itineraries which offer a scenic way to visit the seaside towns of the Riviera.
BLUE : These itineraries are for those of reasonable fitness and who quite regularly take leisurely country walks. They will typically take 3-4 hrs and without too many ups and downs.
RED : For those that consider a good walk to last 4-6 hrs and are not put off by the odd hill climb.
BLACK : If you want a long day's walk with a generous sprinkling of ups, including the odd mountain, then these are the ones to take. Although these trails follow marked pathways, the terrain is often rugged requiring good walking gear. A good level of fitness and a 'head for heights' required.
Back-pack hints
* Bottled water: it is suggested that you take at least 1.5 litres of water per person and more during the months of July and August.
* Mobile phone: should you ever need assistance, phone Xtrallusion on the number given below at any time. Other than in a few locations, mobile phone coverage is good and you should never be without a network for more than a few hundred metres.
* Sunglasses.
* Shorts, T-shirt and a cajole in case of wind.
* Fleece & cajole when walking in the higher coastal alps.
Tips
* - If you can, it is better to do this walk during the week rather than at weekends when it is really full of visitors, both local and from abroad. |
