Overview

Join us for the “Hidden Gems Geo Trek Loop,” a unique 6-7 hour trekking experience led by Eleonora, an experienced Geologist-Geophysicist and Environmental Guide. This trek offers a blend of personal passion, local culture, dynamic experiences, and detailed geological insights.

We will explore geosites and cliff villages located between Cinque Terre National Park and Portovenere and Island Regional Park, including Schiara di Tramonti, Monesteroli, and Fossola. You'll have the opportunity to swim in clear crystal waters far from the crowds and visit a vineyard near Riomaggiore with breathtaking views.

Activity itinerary

Monesteroli
  • 4h
We'll meet at the Litoranea di Monesteroli Bus Station, where I'll introduce our "Hidden Gems of 5 Lands" route and the geosites we'll explore. We'll embark on a loop trail starting from Fossola, heading towards Monte della Madonna, with a detour to Schiara di Tramonti. In the sea part of Schiara, you'll have the opportunity to swim in beautiful crystal-clear waters and admire the picturesque seaside village. After ascending back up the Schiara staircase, we'll have lunch at a picnic area at the trail's summit (please bring your own lunch!). We will continue our journey towards Monesteroli and reach the beginning of the famous UNESCO Monesteroli staircase, offering scenic views of the entire Tramonti coast and the Cinque Terre.
Località Fossola

Our path continuing in Fossola will then lead through panoramic terraced vineyards and limestone cliffs towards Borgo dei Campi.
Il Borgo di Campi
  • 2h

Depending on the group's fitness level, there will be a second opportunity to see the Piscine Naturali near Borgo dei Campi. We'll conclude our trail inside an ancient vineyard called "Vigna l’Eroica," which offers sweeping views. Surrounded by nature, we'll enjoy refreshments and discuss the day's insights, including the history of Cinque Terre, geosites, viticulture, and the relationship between geology and wine.
