Macdooger4 Posted January 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2023 We are visiting Vernazza and then driving over to Riomaggiore after that (as part of a tour). We would like to walk to the top of the towns to see the beautiful views. Do we need a hiking pass to do so? We are not walking between towns, just wanting to climb up to see the view. How long does it take to get to the top approx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find out if you have the option of taking the ferry to Riomaggiore and meeting your guide there. You have a long day in port so you have plenty of time to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted January 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The park web site has loads of info and hopefully will provide the info you are looking for: Footpaths (cinqueterre.eu.com) I wasn't on a cruise when I visited CT. A fabulous DIY day! I boarded the ferry at Monterosso, and stayed on board until the end at Riomaggiore, then walked back to Vernazza and Corniglia where I caught the train back to Monterosso. The ferry provides incredible views of the villages; definitely the highlight, moreso than the views from the trails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so if we want to hike to the top of the cliffs, we don't need a pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
