When you arrive at the Corniglia train station, you have two choices: wait for the shuttle bus or embrace the village's unique character by climbing the Scalinata Lardarina. This long, brick staircase, with its 377 steps, is the true welcome to Corniglia, zigzagging up the cliffside. As you ascend, you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the terraced vineyards and the sparkling sea, making the effort a memorable part of your Cinque Terre experience.
