Volastra
A wine village about 330 metres above Manarola, reached by a walk along the terrace trail to Corniglia
Volastra is a small village about 330 metres above Manarola, surrounded by layered vineyard terraces, with the 12th-century Church of Our Lady of Health at its centre. Trail 586 leaves from here and crosses vineyards and olive groves to Corniglia (about 1.5 to 2 hours). The scenery is good and it is quiet, making it the classic alternative route when the Blue Path between Manarola and Corniglia is closed. From Manarola you can take a park shuttle up the hill (valid with the Cinque Terre Card), or climb about an hour of stone steps.
