Cinque Terre Trails

Here is the website for the park system with the status of the trails.
http://www.parconazionale5terre.it/sentieri_parco.asp?id_lingue=1 You can check back there every so often to learn what other trails may have opened since you last looked.

Terre, As you noted, the only No. 2 (Sentiero Azzurro) trail that is currently open is the Monterosso - Vernazza section. It's expected that at least one of the others will re-open soon, but I haven't seen a definite date for that. As you'll see from the website listed in the previous reply, the No. 2 trails are not necessarily "the five major ones". There's an extensive network of trails in the area, but the No. 2 is favoured by most visitors as they're relatively easy and quick to hike. Note that a Park Pass is compulsory to hike any of the No. 2 trails. Even if some of the No. 2 trails are closed, it's very easy to get from one town to another using the local trains. Happy travels!

Hi Terre, I was just in CT a couple days ago staying in Monterosso. Monterosso to Vernazza was the only "open" trail, and the only one I did in full. However, many people were doing all of the hikes. Of course I cannot advocate that it's allowed or encouraged. But, like I said; LOTS of people on them. Also, I met a coue that did some beautiful long hikes above Monterosso, Vernazza and ended in Corniglia I believe, they said it was lovely!
I almost let concern about trails being closed stop me from going to CT, and so glad I went It's like waking through a postcard, just being in the villages!

Cat, You are just the post I was wanting to hear! At least I know if all are not open one on oceanside is. Also not to let let trail closures stop me from wanting to go. I believe you are talking about trail 6 and I plan on doing that one. Can you suggest anything other to do, places you stayed and quick food stops? Thank you so much!
