Capusati Scaladi Summer Fest and Trail

The summer festival on the Pinè Plateau

The Capusati Scaladi Summer Fest and Trail is the most anticipated summer event for the community of Campolongo, in the municipality of Baselga di Pinè, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). Born in the heart of the Pinè Plateau, the event is promoted by the A.P.S. I Capusati - Capusati-Scaladi Association, a group of volunteers who, every year around Ferragosto, transform the Spiaggia dei Due Laghi on the shores of Lake Piazze into a vibrant gathering spot for residents and tourists alike.

Three days of food, music, and fun

The heart of the festival is the marquee and the beach area, where a kitchen service operates throughout the event, serving traditional Trentino dishes, accompanied by live music, orchestras, accordion players, and DJ sets that bring summer nights to life. The formula skillfully blends gastronomy, entertainment, and social moments in the genuine, family-friendly atmosphere typical of village festivals on the Plateau.

• Kitchen service with Trentino specialties available all day
• Live music, orchestras, accordion players, and DJ sets in the evening
• Inflatables and attractions for children
• Sports tournaments: 3v3 cage soccer and beach volleyball
• Straboi (traditional fritters) and recreational activities in the afternoon

The Capusati-Scaladi Trail and the Maurizio Giovannini Memorial

The highlight of the festival is the Capusati-Scaladi Trail, a mountain race organized in memory of Maurizio Giovannini. The race starts in the evening from the Spiaggia dei Due Laghi in Campolongo and offers two routes through the woods and trails of the Plateau: a Classic 10 km track with 400 m of elevation gain and a Strong 12 km track with 630 m of elevation gain. After the race, there are awards ceremonies and a pasta party for all participants, creating a perfect mix of sport and conviviality.

An event at the heart of the community

The Summer Fest is not just a party, but also an opportunity to support the association's activities and experience the community spirit of the Pinè Plateau together. Nestled in the mountains of the Cembra Valley, framed by the two lakes of Serraia and Piazze, the event has become a classic of the Trentino summer over the years, attracting families, athletes, and food lovers.

Where it takes place

The event is held at the Spiaggia dei Due Laghi in Campolongo, a hamlet of Baselga di Pinè (ZIP code 38042), on the Pinè Plateau in the province of Trento, easily accessible from Trento and the Cembra Valley.
