Jacopeo d'Anaunia Path – IV stage
With the fourth stage you return to Val di Non through Cavizzana and up to the locality of S. Antonio di Cles. This is a demanding stage but one of great charm for the views over the two valleys and Lake Santa Giustina.
This stage is very demanding because of the difference in altitude to be overcome in the stretch from Cavizzana to the locality of S.Antonio. It is recommended to be very careful in case of bad weather. It should also be noted that the long mountain section Cavizzana-Cles is devoid of any possibility of supply. Finally, in case of renunciation, it is possible to reach Cles by public transport from Terzolas or Caldes.

From Terzolas to Cles. With the fourth stage you return to Val di Non passing through Cavizzana and up to the locality of S.Antonio di Cles. A demanding stage but very charming for the views of the two Valleys and Lake Santa Giustina.
This stage is very demanding due to the elevation to be overcome in the section from Cavizzana to the locality of S.Antonio. Attention and caution are recommended in bad weather. It is also noted that the long mountain section Cavizzana-Cles has no supply possibilities. Lastly, in case of abandonment, there is the option of reaching Cles by public transport from Terzolas or Caldes.
On the stage, you encounter Castel Caldes, the Sas dala Guardia (an ancient guard post from 1632 to ward off the plague) at Cavizzana, and a beautiful chapel dedicated to S.Antonio immersed in the woods of Cles.

Track types
Show elevation profileSafety information
The Camino is well marked, with the presence of the stylized yellow shell symbol and various signs indicating the way. You walk along ancient connecting paths between small villages and old routes that led to the Sanctuaries, the destinations of pilgrimages. There are short stretches of roads with low vehicle traffic.
As you can imagine, the passability of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to the current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before leaving, check the status of the route by contacting the manager of refuges along your path, mountain guides, natural park visitor centers, and tourist offices.
Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
The fourth stage begins at the Torraccia of Terzolas and continues towards Caldes where the Castle definitely deserves a stop. We continue to "Le Contre" crossing the Noce stream, then along a forest road we reach the "Sas dala Guardia" (which recalls an ancient guard post, from 1632, to ward off the danger of the plague). Shortly after, we cross Cavizzana and climb the steep "Strada dele Crozze"; we surpass 1200 m altitude and through the "Senter Portantin", once used to carry coal downhill, and then a forest road, we reach the chapel in loc. S. Antonio di Cles. The "Senter dei Gropi" leads us to Caltron and Dres where there is a church with fine frescoes; a few minutes separate us from Cles, the end of the stage.
This stage is quite challenging due to the elevation gain, it can possibly be shortened by starting from Cavizzana.

Equipment
Anyone setting out who wishes to arrive at their destination without problems must wear a good pair of comfortable shoes, preferably with a sculpted sole (like Vibram) and ankle protection (like hiking boots), but ones in which the foot is firmly held to avoid blisters or, worse, sprains. It is also good to have a stick (or better yet telescopic poles) to help on the walk, especially in some more challenging passages.Localization
