that would be circuitous travel. Cinqueterre is quite south of Milan.

You'll find plenty of trains and train connections.
For schedules try http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en just select
a rail station in Cinqueterre
You'll need one ticket Nice-Cinqueterre and another one to Milan but
they're inexpensive.

It's 5 to 7 hours from Nice to the Cinque Terre, with a change in Genoa.
One pleasant way to do it is to actually make a two-night base at Sta.
Margherita Ligure, Camogli, or Rapallo, which are not far south of Genoa.
For one thing, these are wonderful places--I would rather stay in Sta.
Margherita Ligure than the Cinque Terre--it is beautiful, casual, has great
shops and restaurants, and is not as rammed-full of North American tourists
as the Cinque Terre towns can be (though I have nothing against North
Americans--I am one; though admittedly, a night or two in Vernazza in the
Cinque Terre can be enchanting). If you stay two nights north of the
Cinque Terre, though, then the day after you arrive on your shorter journey
you can take the train from there 60 or 90 minutes down to the Cinque Terre
as a day trip, stopping at different towns, and maybe taking a cliff hike,
before heading back up to Sta. Margherita. Heading up to Milan then
usually involves a change in Genoa (3 or 4 hours), but there may be direct
trains.

As rail fares go, you simply buy individual tickets for your trips--they are
not that expensive. There is also a very cheap ticket available just for
travel between the five Cinque Terre towns.

I would second the stop in Santa Margherita di Ligure, it is wonderful
(and near the fabled Portofino)
