Before the start of the second demanding climb on the mule track that connects Corniglia and Vernazza, there is this panoramic point from which you can see both Manarola and Corniglia.

It's a great place to stroll around. There are small, fine restaurants to eat and views out to sea. What more could you want?

March 22, 2022,Cinque Terre: Traumhafte Wanderung von Vernazza nach Corniglia
Our favorite among the currently open Cinque Terre hiking trails: The trail from Vernazza to Corniglia. Fantastic!! Hiking shoes are highly recommended. You can find more information about our trip on the Familien-Reiseblog.de

Today we went on our first hike in Cinque Terre. We had already read a lot and looked at pictures and videos in preparation. What we saw exceeded our expectations. It was the most beautiful and difficult hike I've done to date. We chose the easiest hike for the morning. It seemed difficult to us. The paths aren't easy, with …

Coming from Vernazza, the path is a little more challenging, as half of the path consists entirely of stairs - going up. Although going down the stairs is not easy either. Have fun. 😉

Departing from San Bernardino, arriving in Corniglia and then returning to Vernazza. Return to San Bernardino by shuttle. Departing from San Bernardino, you don't need a Cinque Terre card unless you exit through the Corniglia checkpoint.

Beautiful hike on the Cinque Terre. Overcrowded, but that was to be expected. With the Cinque Terre Card, I also took the train between the towns and the return trip by boat. But this cost extra.

Today we visited the last two of the Cinque Terre places. Corniglia is my favorite. It doesn't have a landing stage for excursion boats, but it does have a nice bathing area. And a train station. The hiking trail costs €7.50 per person, but it is nice. The bar in the middle was great 👍

After leaving Manarola, my wife and I once again hiked the "Hundreds of Steps" from Corniglia to Vernazza. The stairs from the train station up to the town of Corniglia alone comprise 382 steps. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to quickly wander into the towns (we know them well) as we wanted to catch our scheduled train in Vernazza. As …

The section of the Cinque Terre coastal path between Vernazza and Corniglia is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained, and for both reasons, probably very popular.

Don't forget to stop for freshly made lemonade halfway through in Prevo – either at a bar in town or a short distance outside towards Vernazza 😋
