CTT takes you to the trails.

Trail No. 6M is a short, level connector between Trail No. 506 and Trail No. 6C plus. It had been abandoned for years before being reopened by us and a group of local volunteers. It is part of the Monte le Croci Park trail network.

The trail begins on Trail No. 506, about 900 meters from the village of Volastra in the direction of the Alta Via delle Cinque Terre (AV5T), and just past the start of Trail No. 585. Heading west along the trail, you will find a wild-boar-proof fence on your right that runs the entire length of the path. Holm oaks shade the initial section; the trail then crosses abandoned farmland supported by low dry-stone walls, now densely overgrown with Mediterranean scrub and mixed woodland. After 200 meters, the path turns north, offering views of Corniglia through occasional gaps in the trees. The trail deviates slightly from its original route due to a collapsed wall and crosses a dry gully before ascending gently through a mixed forest of holm oaks, tree heaths, and maritime pines. It ends at Trail No. 6C plus in the locality of Ca’ d’Ercole. The wild-boar-proof fence crosses the path just before it reaches Trail No. 6C plus, featuring a makeshift gate.
