It is no doubt a very scenic hiking, first 500 steps uphill from Monterosso is not for faint hearted, but descending to Vernazza is certainly not easier, in fact I would argue those steep stone steps.... more

Incredible but very difficult even if you are considerably fit. It took me around 2 hours with multiple breaks along the way and I wasn’t even very prepared. Choose the right timing, I hiked up at 2PM in July so it was technically a suicide attempt. The views are insane and far better than expected.

They said it’s closed…it’s not. Beautiful hike. I recommend going from Monterosso to Vernazza. You get the staircases out of the way and enjoy a nice view on the way down to Vernazza. 1.5 hours total and we went slow. Bring water.
