The longest stage of the Cammino dei Sette Laghi crosses the Cavedine Valley and the Valle dei Laghi, passing through villages, woods, farmland and remarkably varied landscapes.
The fourth stage is the longest section of the Cammino dei Sette Laghi and crosses a wide range of landscapes, from the countryside of the Cavedine Valley to the valley floor of the Valle dei Laghi.

From Vigo Cavedine, the route follows gentle country roads and farmland to Drena, overlooked by its ancient castle high above the village. From here, the trail loses elevation quickly, descending through the woods towards Dro.

In Dro, the route changes direction and heads north again. Gravel roads through woodland and countryside lead first to Lake Bagattoli and then to the historic Fies hydroelectric power station.

Shortly afterwards, the landscape changes completely as the route enters the Marocche di Dro, a vast area covered with enormous boulders created by ancient landslides. In this important protected natural area, the trail crosses an almost lunar landscape where vegetation has adapted to the dry, rocky terrain.

After leaving the Marocche, the route reaches Lake Cavedine and follows its peaceful western shore. The final section returns to woodland, among broadleaf trees and pines on Monte Gaggio, before descending towards the countryside around Pietramurata, where the fourth stage ends.
