The historic and steep connection between Riomaggiore and Manarola.
The historic route between Riomaggiore and Manarola served as the primary connection before the Via dell’Amore was built.
Though short, this demanding trail climbs steeply over the Costa Corniolo ridge via a long flight of stone steps. It rewards hikers with breathtaking, panoramic views of both villages and the coastline, but it requires solid physical fitness and a steady foot.
Good to know
- More than 500-600 steps.
- Steep gradients both uphill and downhill.
- Uneven surface and possible slipperiness.
- Not recommended for those who are not fit, have difficulty with stairs or knee problems.
