Great view of the Monterosso beach while walking along the coast from the Monterosso train station. The view of the beaches from the viewpoints is unrivalled. No wonder why this is a national park..... more

If anyone tells you that this is an easy hike, they are nuts. You walk up stairs for the first 45 minutes. Nothing but stairs. Then you walk a little on flat and then more stairs and then more stairs.... more

Incredible but very difficult even if you are considerably fit. It took me around 2 hours with multiple breaks along the way and I wasn’t even very prepared. Choose the right timing, I hiked up at 2PM in July so it was technically a suicide attempt. The views are insane and far better than expected.

A path with very nice views but physically demanding. Many and very steep stairs and sometimes slippery. I would recommend this sentiero only to people that are used to challenging walks and wear good shoes. It‘ quite exposed to sun, so you might want to take enough to drink with you. Path gets quite crowded from april on!

Long hike that takes over an hour to go between villages, if you're not up for the task you can still walk up to the lookout point to get beautiful views of Vernazza. It's definitely the best spot for taking photos of the small village.

Very crowded in off-season, it costs 7.5 euro/ person. It is a 3,5km km waiting line from Monterosso to Vernaza both ways. You get a nice view at the end but that you can get also if you go by train. Can't imagine how much worse it is in full season.

Highly recommend this hike trail! We did it with our two girls ages 5 & 6. The views were awesome! I can see experienced hikers taking over an hour to complete but with two little people it took us almost 2.5 hrs. Recommend to pack plenty of water, good shoes (we used our running shoes), snacks and charged phone for pics. Happy hiking!
