The Steps to the Moon

When you arrive at the railway station in Corniglia, you don't really realise the extent of it. If you want to reach the Cinque Terre village on foot, you first have to climb the hundreds of steps to the top, also known as the Scalinata Lardarina.

A sweat-inducing and sporty challenge in the afternoon sun. At the end, however, you are rewarded with a fantastic view and a delightful Corniglia. To spoil the fun, you can also take the shuttle bus to the top for a few euros. | Italy
