Munich to Cinque Terre
I am looking to take a train from Munich to Genoa then to la Spezia.
Any recos on a train carrier? I was looking at Trenitalia. Is there a fast/better way to get from Munich to Cinque Terre?

No there is only one way by rail, to use the national railway network of Germany, Austria and Italy - there are options on fares usually but not carriers.
Scour these excellent IMO train sources for guidance - www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com.
especially check www,bahn.de the German Railways web site for discounted tickets and schedules - discounts at least to the Italian border - then dchekc www.trenitalia.com for discount tickets from there - discounted tickets are often non-refundable non-changeable so book extra transfer times in case your trains are running late. Fully flexible tickets often cost a fortune.

Regional trains and some IC trains from Genoa may well stop at Monterosso, before La Spezia so lessens the backtracking a bit.
The Florence airport is also a viable flight destination, being a few hours by train from the 5 Lands.
