What's included on a Riviera hiking tour?

Accommodation each night and breakfast each morning, daily luggage transfers, detailed route notes in our app, and 24/7 support. Flights aren't included.

Is luggage transfer included on Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre routes?

Yes, on every Riviera itinerary. Your bag travels ahead while you carry a light daypack on the trail.

Which coastlines does Macs Adventure operate on?

The Amalfi Coast and the Cinque Terre are our two Italian Riviera routes, both self-guided and village-to-village.

Can I hike the Riviera routes solo?

Yes. Solo travelers are welcome on both routes, and they suit hiking on your own well.

What hiking grade are Riviera routes?

Generally Moderate, with some steep steps between villages. Daily distances are shorter than our Alpine or mountain routes.

What should I pack for a Riviera hiking trip?

Good grip footwear for stone steps, a swimsuit, and a smart-casual outfit for evenings in Positano or the Cinque Terre.

Can I add extra nights in Positano or the Cinque Terre?

Yes, our Adventure Specialists can add pre or post-trip nights before booking to extend your time on the coast. But book early - these regions are popular and fill up fast.

European Riviera & Coastal Hiking Tours

Rivieria walking holidays are a perfect blend of adventure and indulgence. A French Riviera walking holiday has long been a favorite, but Italy's Amalfi Coast and the Cinque Terre are now two of the most photographed coastlines in the world, and both make for outstanding self-guided hiking. Macs Adventure's European Riviera collection pairs clifftop trails with pastel villages and boutique stays.

Walk between Positano and Ravello above the Tyrrhenian Sea, or link the five villages of the Cinque Terre on the Sentiero Azzurro. Days are shorter and stylish - think aperitivo and sea views, not wilderness camping.

20+ years planning self-guided routes in Italy, Macs Adventure is a leader in self-guided travel.

When should I hike the Amalfi Coast or the Cinque Terre?
April-June and September-October. July and August bring heat and heavy crowds on both coastlines.
How difficult are Riviera coastal trails?
Generally Moderate - expect steps and some real ascent between villages, but daily distances are shorter than our mountain routes.
Where will I stay on a Riviera route?
Boutique hotels and guesthouses in Positano, Ravello, and the Cinque Terre villages, chosen for character and location. Our Amalfi Coast in Comfort offers exquisite hand-picked hotels with sea vistas.
Is the Cinque Terre walkable end to end?
Yes. The Sentiero Azzurro links all five villages, though sections occasionally close for trail maintenance - we route around closures. Footsore? Hop on the train that links these villages.
What's the food like on these routes?
Ligurian pesto and focaccia on the Cinque Terre, lemon everything and fresh seafood on the Amalfi Coast - some of Italy's best regional cooking. And don't forget to indulge in slushies, gelatos and limoncello made with fresh local lemons.
