A five-stage loop through the Valle dei Laghi, among lakes, vineyards, woods, villages and landscapes shaped by both nature and history.

The Cammino dei Sette Laghi is a five-stage circular route through some of the most characteristic landscapes of the Valle dei Laghi, alternating lakes, cultivated countryside, woodland, small villages and sections with a more mountainous feel.

From Sarche, the route initially heads north along the shores of Lake Toblino and Lake Santa Massenza, then continues through vineyards, woods and historic villages to Monte Terlago. The second stage leads to the Laghi di Lamar and Lake Terlago, crossing the Prada plateau before descending towards Vezzano.

From Vezzano, the Cammino reaches its most mountainous section. The trail climbs through the woods on the western slopes of Monte Bondone to Lake Lagolo, then descends towards Castel Madruzzo and continues through the Cavedine Valley, among fields, villages and traces of the ancient Roman road, to Vigo Cavedine.

The fourth stage, the longest of the route, passes through Drena and Dro before reaching one of the most striking landscapes of the entire journey: the Marocche di Dro, a vast rocky area created by ancient landslides. The trail then reaches Lake Cavedine and continues across Monte Gaggio to Pietramurata.

The final stage initially follows the River Sarca and crosses vineyards and farmland before climbing again towards Calavino. The descent along the Roggia di Calavino, through woodland, waterfalls and old mills, leads back towards Lake Toblino. Passing beside its unmistakable castle, the route finally returns to Sarche, completing the loop.

Over the five days, the landscape changes constantly: alpine lakes and valley-floor lakes, rocky cliffs, broadleaf and conifer woods, Nosiola vineyards, orchards and small villages rich in historical heritage. This variety is what makes the Cammino dei Sette Laghi a journey that reveals, step by step, the many different sides of the same territory.
