Path of Love Reopens in 2024
After a long closure due to a landslide in 2012, which resulted in injuries to four tourists, the Path of Love (Via dell'Amore) in Cinque Terre has finally reopened. This iconic trail, known for its stunning views of the Ligurian Sea and its romantic atmosphere, was damaged and had to undergo extensive repairs and safety enhancements.
The current status of the trail (November 2024): open.
After 12 years of closure, the Path of Love (Via dell'Amore) reopened on July 26, 2024, for residents and is now open to tourists starting August 9, 2024. The reopening marks a significant moment for the Cinque Terre region, promoting sustainable tourism and preserving its natural beauty.
