“Doss Castel” is a rocky spur that rises over the Adige Valley in a strategic lookout position on the eastern edge of the Paganella plateau. In 1979 a settlement was discovered here and the Autonomous Province of Trento began research that continues today.

Until now, the oldest find has been a small stone hatchet which dates back to the late Stone Age, while the first traces of settlement are from the Bronze Age. However, most materials and structures show signs of a village from the “Retico” period, including the foundations of some small one-family houses made of rock. You can reach the site on foot in 20 minutes from the centre square of Fai della Paganella.
