The direct climb from Riomaggiore towards the high ridge of the Cinque Terre.
A short but highly demanding trail that climbs steeply from the village toward Sella La Croce, crossing terraces, sections of ancient mule track, and woodland. It is one of the most direct access routes to the upper hiking network and the Alta Via delle Cinque Terre, but it requires a good level of fitness: the ascent is continuous, steep, and offers almost no flat sections
Good to know
- There is little shade in the first section: avoid it during the hottest hours.
- Not suitable for those who are not used to walking uphill.
