Monesteroli
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.
