Descrizione
The Fiavé pile-dwellings, together with the Ledro pile-dwellings and other 109 archaeological areas, are part of the serial and transnational site “Prehistoric pile-dwelling sites of the Alpine arc” included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2011.
The discovery of the existence of a prehistoric settlement in the basin of the former Carera lake, which had progressively become cloudy, occurred in the mid-19th century following peat extraction works.
From 1969 to 1976, systematic research was undertaken, which involved two distinct areas of the peat bog and the adjacent Dos Gustinaci, resumed in 1981 with investigations in which Italian and foreign institutes, museums and universities took part.
The results of the research are documented in the nearby Fiavé Pile Dwelling Museum where the extraordinary finds discovered during the excavations are exhibited and where a large model with the meticulous reconstruction of the “Fiavé 6” village is visible.
In the archaeological area of the Pile Dwellings of Fiavé the remains of the piles of prehistoric buildings are visible. The site is located within the Carera nature reserve and can be visited freely.
A few steps from the archaeological area is the Parco Archeo Natura : the visit is a fascinating journey through time into the atmosphere of the Bronze Age pile-dwelling village along an engaging route with huts reconstructed in full scale, installations, information panels, a visitor center with films and multimedia equipment, spaces dedicated to families and children.

The site can be reached on foot from the town of Fiavé, in about 30 minutes, along a convenient route that starts from via 3 Novembre a few hundred meters from the museum, or by car along the provincial road n.421 following the signs for Passo del Ballino – Riva del Garda with parking at Dos Gustinaci.
