Hiking in Cinque Terre – Starting point Riomaggiore

We will meet at Riomaggiore train station and we will walk up to the church “Oratorio di Santa Maria Assunta” from where we take the bus to the starting point of the hike.

This journey aim to take you off the beaten track on trails that have been inhabited thousands of years ago. Up in the ridge between the mountains and the sea is where we can find tranquillity, silence and peace.

We will hike the Cinque Terre Sanctuary Way down to the stunning Madonna di Montenero Sanctuary. Place of hermitage where the meditation session of the day will take place. Along the way, we will visit the ancient peasant village of Lemmen that, with its agricultural terraces supported by dry stone walls and small stone dwellings, is a magnificent testimony of the work of man in this impervious territory.

The hike touches ancient trails and allows to connect with the Mediterranean forest, perfumes and colors. An excursion far from the beaten track of the Cinque Terre which allows you to see some of the most scenic views of the Cinque Terre.

Dry stone walls, vineyards and ancient olive trees that paint the landscape from Telegrafo, down to Riomaggiore, a village of the thirteenth century, located in the valley of the Rivus Major stream, from which the village takes its name.
