Italy - Corniglia, Scalinata Lardarina

Due to its hilltop location Corniglia is different to the other Cinque Terre villages. When traveling by train there are two ways to reach the village: a shuttle bus and the Scalinata Lardarina, a stairway with 382 steps, which is divided in 33 ramps.

When we arrived in Corniglia, there was a long queue for the (small) bus. We therefore decided to take the stairs. Quite a climb, especially on a warm sunny day. But fortunately, there were plenty of places to stop, enjoy the view and to take photos of the many flowers along the stairs.
