Hiking in Cinque Terre! by sikorka
Hiking in Cinque Terre is a real pleasure, views are unforgettable and flora is beautiful.We spend the whole day hiking from Monterosso al Mare to Riomaggiore, we were taking our time in each of 5 towns, it was really relaxing day.
The whole trail from Monterosso a Riomaggiore is supposed to take about 5h (9km), but it depends on how fit you are.
The most difficult is a hike from Monterosso to Vernazza, it's very steep at the beginning, there are many steps to do, so if somebody does not feel like sweating a bit it's better to start in Corniglia and hike to Riomaggiore from there. Starting from Corniglia direction to Riomaggiore the hike is really easy, it's more like walking path with sea view. It takes about 1,5h to do it.
But, even if the trail from Monterosso to Vernazza is the most difficult I found it the most beautiful, the wildest, with captivating view of Monterosso and later panoramic view of Vernazza. It's awesome!!!
I am six month pregnant and I did all the hike so I feel like most people can do it without problem, of course you need to have good shoes and it's better if it's not too hot!
