❍ Open Tour

From Porto Venere to Levanto via the Cinque Terre

Four-day open hiking group from Porto Venere to Levanto passing through the Cinque Terre.

To welcome spring, what better choice than a multi-day backpacking tour through one of the most picturesque places of Italy?

This multi-day hiking tour will allow us to hike sea views from Porto Venere to Levanto passing through all the ancient villages of the Cinque Terre. We will hike the less traveled paths, avoid overcrowded trails and enjoy only the best of this beautiful corner of the sea.

Hiking in good company through the the Cinque Terre while looking at the sea is a pleasure for body and mind.

This hike is suitable for most hikers; never too strenuous but at the same time offering breathtaking scenery surrounded by the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage nature of Cinque Terre National Park.

Whether alone or in the company of your friends, this is just what you need after the cold winter! - contact us for more information.

Daily Program

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

We meet at 10:30 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.

Vallata » 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. Congratulations to all, it was beautiful!

We are scheduled to arrive in Levanto around 1:00 PM in time to catch the train for the day's returns to Milan, Turin, Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome and beyond.
