Monterosso and Vernazza have become world famous for their beauty, attracting crowds of tourists every day. With our trek we will explore a point of view that is more difficult than the traditional route, but also less frequented, with the possibility of seeing the two villages from two different points of view and being amazed by the marvellous view.

The programme

We will meet in front of Monterosso station from where we will set off towards the Sanctuary of Soviore along the ancient mule track. A marvellous view of the infinity of the sea will open up before us.

We will continue our steep ascent until we reach the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri and, passing the summit of Monte Soviore at 619m, we will continue our route, beginning to see the typical Mediterranean scrub, which also includes holm oak and chestnut groves.

We will then reach the Sanctuary of Regio, passing the wonderful view of Vernazza from above we will start to descend along the historical mule track and reach the centre of Vernazza.
