Dos Le Grave (or Doss de le Grave) is one of the most interesting natural areas in the Argentario Ecomuseum, in the Monte Calisio area. It features an important biotope that displays two extremely different environmental typologies: a wetland and an arid zone, located respectively at the foot and on the western flank of Dos. A characteristic of this small, semi-desert-like elevation is the striking presence of bonsai-like Scots pines growing on waste material from silver mining (an activity that affected the entire plateau from the 11th to the 15th century). The arid portion is in immediate contact with the wetland below. This peat bog was formed by the filling of a small lake basin. Small bodies of open water still remain from this basin.

Mount Calisio (also known as Argentario) is a 1,096-meter peak located between the municipalities of Trento and Civezzano. It is part of the Monte Croce-Sette Selle mountain chain. The area below (the Argentario Plateau) was once home to important silver mines, which declined in importance in the 15th century. The area, semi-abandoned for centuries, was rediscovered in the 20th century with the ever-increasing growth of residential areas. Mount Calisio features an underground fortification built by the Austrians starting in August 1915. It was one of the largest and most modern structures in the Trento fortress, with a classic "H" shape consisting of two galleries, 250 and 160 meters long, and a connecting tunnel. Later, 10-12 meter vertical concrete shafts were dug to install two howitzers in armored cupolas. The bases of the M16 aircraft can still be seen on the summit. Today, Mount Calisio is crisscrossed by numerous hiking trails maintained by the SAT (a subsection of the Italian Alpine Club) in collaboration with the Argentario Ecomuseum. The summit offers a fabulous view of the Adige Valley and part of the Valsugana.

Visitors frequently enjoy Dosso di Costalta (1,955 m) for its fantastic 360° views of Pine, the Fersental, and the western Lagoreikette. Another highly rated spot is Cima Paganella, known for its extensive bike trails and unique panorama of the Adige Valley. The Monte Calisio Summit Cross is also very popular, offering wonderful views and significant historical insights.
For truly spectacular 360-degree panoramas, Monte Marzola is an excellent choice. From its summits, Cima Marzola Sud and Cima Marzola Nord, you can see almost all the main mountain groups in the region, including the Adige Valley, the city of Trento, and the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico. The Dosso di Costalta (1,955 m) also provides a great viewpoint with a 360° view of Pine and the Fersental.
Yes, Monte Calisio is particularly rich in history. It's renowned for its ancient silver mines, locally called 'canope,' which were a significant source of silver for Tirol. During World War I, Monte Calisio was also a crucial part of Trento's defensive fortifications, and remnants like anti-aircraft cannon bases and observation posts can still be explored. Monte Marzola also played a strategic role in WWI, with visible remains of fortifications and trenches.
Monte Calisio provides numerous hiking opportunities through peaceful forest reserves. A popular route is the 'Monte Calisio historical mining trail (Trail 31),' which explores the ancient silver mines. Another option starts from Lake Santa Colomba, leading through the 'Le Grave' biotope, an important habitat for amphibians and birds, before ascending to the summit. The trails cater to various fitness levels.
Yes, the Paganella mountain group, accessible from Civezzano, offers family-friendly options, especially in summer. Ski lifts operate, providing effortless access to the summit for strolls and hikes through woods and alpine meadows. The Rifugio La Roda, located at the top of Paganella, is also listed as family-friendly and offers stunning views.
The Paganella mountain group is a renowned ski paradise in winter, offering 50 km of wide ski slopes and modern lift systems. It's an ideal destination for skiing and snowboarding, transforming from a summer hiking hub into a premier winter sports resort.
Yes, Doss Castel, located above Fai della Paganella, is an archaeological site and viewpoint. It features traces of settlements dating back to the medieval Bronze Age (14th century BC), with visible remains from the second Iron Age (5th to 4th centuries BC), also known as the 'Rhaetian period'.

You can find more details on these activities in the Running Trails around Civezzano and Cycling around Civezzano guides.
For experienced walkers seeking a challenge, Monte Marzola offers a more demanding mini-trekking option that involves traversing the mountain from East to West, which can be a full-day hike. The Dosso di Costalta (1,955 m) is also categorized as a challenging summit to reach.
From the summit of Paganella, particularly Roda Peak at 2,125 meters, you can experience a spectacular 360° panorama of the Trentino region. This includes breathtaking views of the Dolomites peaks and glimpses of Lake Garda, offering a truly expansive vista.
