Leaving Vernazza, via the hike to Monterosso is the best view of the town Day 16 : Saturday 21 September 2019 : Cinque Terre Hike to Monterosso and Corniglia Oh, what a day. We love the Cinque Terre Trail!
We decided that with the days still being quite warm, we should make an early start, so off we headed and hiked the portion from Vernazza to Monterosso. The first 30 minutes was all uphill. In total 27000 steps and 157 floors according my health app for the day. Beautiful views, Monterosso was enchanting. A look around to take it all in, it’s just too pretty. A relaxing swim to refresh, hired some kayaks and had a paddle. Decided to hit the trails some more and took the train to Corniglia (€4 pp each leg). From the train its quite a walk up up and up to get to the town of Corniglia. Didn’t expect that! The town is located high on the cliff and not on a beach, but views of the beach below. Had to have the obligatory stop for Gelato. We hiked back to Vernazza. Again, dazzling views, sore feet but wouldn’t trade it for the world!
Dad and Ella shot ahead, while Kirsten and I decided to stop high

Up we go up near Vernazza and indulge in drinks with a view. Still awesome weather ? Quick rest, out for a few more drinks and then out for tea at Pizzeria Vernazza Futura (€37). Great pasta. We ordered ½ bottles of wine. And the little restaurant runs across the road to the deli to buy the wine….pretty cool and good business sense.
What a day! We so want to walk the rest of it…..we will be back.
Walked 17kms or 27000 steps and 157floors. CC €53
Cash €45
