Cinque Terre trails status
 

Has anyone been hiking in the Cinque Terre lately who can advise which trails are closed at present? Leaving for there in a couple of weeks. Thanks.

Here is the official trail map:

The ones in red are closed. The others have codes indicating the difficulty. The times indicated by "A" are the time for the outward route, and by "R" for the return stretch. The difference depends on how much is uphill and how much is downhill.

Note that all of the information applies to people in experienced and in good condition hiking in good weather with appropriate footwear.

The coastal path Vernassa / Corniglia is theoretically closed, but we walked it a week ago, and met maybe 100 people. Many, including us, ignored the closed sign.

The "Lovers Walk" from Riomaggiore to Manarola is absolutely closed, with locked gates at both ends.

Rather foolhardy; you can do as you like, but you shouldn't encourage others.
