Lagorai d'InCanto

A natural stage among the Lagorai peaks

Lagorai d'InCanto is one of the most evocative music festivals in Trentino-Alto Adige: acoustic concerts brought literally to the mountains, among the huts, alpine lakes, and crags of the Lagorai Chain and the Cima d'Asta Group, in the heart of Valsugana. The stage is neither a theater nor a town square, but the mountain itself: to attend the concerts, you must hike, climb the trails, and reach the listening spot, where musical notes intertwine with the sounds of nature.

Origins in Castel Ivano

The festival was born in 2017 from an idea by the Municipality of Castel Ivano (Autonomous Province of Trento) and quickly established itself as a signature summer event in Valsugana, coordinated by APT Valsugana in collaboration with local municipalities. Year after year, the format has solidified: a few carefully curated events, each set in a different corner of the Lagorai Chain, allowing participants to discover lesser-known mountain spots.

Singer-songwriter music in the heart of nature

The common thread is Italian singer-songwriter music performed in an acoustic version: over the years, these natural stages have hosted artists such as Luca Barbarossa, Simone Cristicchi, Diodato, Niccolò Fabi, Paola Turci, and Davide Van De Sfroos. The acoustic format, without large sound systems, enhances the voice and instruments, creating a rare intimacy between the artist and the audience, who sit on the grass of high-altitude pastures.

Mountains, memory, and territory

Lagorai d'InCanto is also a way to rediscover the history of these places: the Lagorai Chain holds traces of the Great War, with trenches, walkways, and remnants emerging from the rocks. The festival thus combines music with the environmental and cultural enhancement of Valsugana, inviting the public to experience the mountains in a slow and mindful way.

How it works

• Concerts are free of charge, generally held at noon.
• Each event takes place in a different mountain location, reachable by a hike (ranging from 25 minutes to 2 hours depending on the chosen parking area).
• In case of bad weather, concerts are moved to indoor venues with adjusted schedules.
