The itinerary regains altitude along the path of the previous stage, going past some stone granges, proof of ancient agricultural activities. At 1771 m of Gr. Chiotto Ligera you find yourself walking in large pastures and the climb becomes steeper among sparse larch trees, towards Colletto Serasin (2040 m). When you arrive here there is a 360-degree view that ranges from the middle to the high valley, running along the meadows of the Traversiera valley, up to the rocky border peaks. You descend first along the grassy track, then along the agricultural track and finally on asphalt to the hamlet of Lausetto where you turn right, already in sight of the little church of San Maurizio. After crossing the fields behind the chapel, you follow the long hillside that reaches the panoramic hillock of La Crocetta (1669 m) and then Chiappera.

Cascate di Stroppia: with its almost 500 metres, it is the highest waterfall in Italy; the jet becomes it most powerful in late spring and then "disappears" in summer when the level of the above Lake Neira lowers. Castello/Provenzale Group: it has four peaks, Rocca Provenzale (2402 m), Punta Figari (2345 m), Torre Castello (2448 m), Rocca Castello (2452 m) and is a renowned site for rock climbing.
