HIking Cinque Terre

Is the Beccara Trail reopened?

According to the useful park map Joe has kindly provided, that trail is closed. It looks like it has been closed for while.

Thank you both. Do you know of any other ways to hike from Riomaggiore to Manarola and Manarola to Corniglia that are currently open?

Henry, best thing you can do is to use the website and the trail map. It's easy to use and in ENGLISH! If you see connecting trail lines between those villages that are not BLACK - meaning closed - then click on them: the trail number will pop up with "View the itinerary" text. Click on that for a description of that trail (length, difficulty, etc).

Here's the map page:

I won't explore details of this route myself but for Corniglia > Manarola (reverse for Manarola to Corniglia) you might look at:
587 (ex n. 7A) Corniglia - Piana di Corniglia
connecting with 586 (ex n. 6D) Volastra - Case Pianca
connecting with 506 (ex n. 6) Manarola - Bivio n. 1 (Sella di Monte Marvede)

What's open now doesn't mean it'll be open when you go so best to use the tools you'll need when you get there. As with any hiking trip to a national park, the park's website and maps are your friends. :O)

Thank you Kathy! Can’t wait for the Via dell’Amore to be reopened!

albertadams2019, you copy/pasted your text from a 2013 page on the Walks of Italy website.
Two of the four segments of the Sentiero Azzurro (SVA2 on the map) have been closed for years and will remain closed this season, unless they manage to get Corniglia>Manarola open at some point but I wouldn't hold my breath.

So, the SVA2 from Corniglia to Manarola is closed.
SVA2 from Manarola to Riomaggiore - otherwise known as the Via dell’Amore - is mostly closed. It is not open enough to connect the two villages.

Henry, I don't even call Via dell’Amore a proper "trail" or "hike", and when open was the busiest section as it's paved and dead easy. It will for certain remain closed this season. Do be aware that workaround routes are going to be much longer and more strenuous!

Thanks Kathy,
I’m looking forward to the challenge of a good hike.

Great! Have fun!
Oh, and you can also ask around when you're there for some suggested routes.

We did the "workarounds" in the heat of July and, although challenging, were very doable if you are in decent shape.

When I hike last year I went into the information station at Riomaggiore. They were very helpful and gave me a suggestion to go from Manarola to Corniglia. The route took me up high in the hills on a glorious sunny day. Very few people (in late March). I enjoyed an apertivo after in Corniglia sitting on a terrace looking back from how I'd come.

Point is, check with the information folks before you head out.

Exactly. Between the website and local intelligence, you'll be fine as long as the weather cooperates.

Thank you all! I’ll make sure to ask around and go to the information center!
