From Località Cigoletta, take the first part of the common path to 507 Vernazza - Riccò del Golfo. After a few tens of meters the path turns sharply to the right, beginning a slight climb. Then follow the path in a westerly direction on a beaten earth surface at intervals on the ridge of the Cinque Terre, border of the Park. The vegetation is predominantly wooded: chestnut woods, cerreti, deciduous broadleaf trees mixed with pine trees. Even during the day you can meet small wild animals. The path reaches the Malpertuso saddle, the highest mountain in the Cinque Terre at 815 meters.
Now begins a long descent that leads through chestnut trees, oaks, holm oaks and pines, first at the intersection with a dirt road and then paved up to the junction with the path 508 to Vernazza in Foce di Drignana
After crossing the junction with the 508 that descends to Vernazza, the path has a slight slope, always passing through chestnut and holm oak woods. At a plateau the path meets an intersection that in a few minutes leads to the small church of Santa Croce with a splendid view of the sea. The path continues in a false floor and then downhill to Termine. TREKKING SHOES ARE STRONGLY SUGGESTED.
