The first is the ridge path number 1, known as Alta via delle Cinque Terre. This ancient mule track runs along the watershed that separates the Cinque Terre coast from the Val di Vara and is a secondary branch of the Alta via dei Monti Liguri, which connects to Mount Zatta.
From the ridge path you can reach the villages of the 5 Terre through one of the transversals that descend towards the sea following the secondary ridges or the valleys delimited by them. The most important ones, from west to east, are the paths n °: 9, 8, 7, 6, 2, 1, 3.
