The medieval village of Canale is counted among the “Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”. It is a concentrated mixture of history, art and tradition, preserved virtually intact to the present day. Its solid stone houses, vaulted archways, underpasses, narrow laneways and wooden balconies are the perfect illustration of the rural architecture of the area. Here you will find the "Casa degli Artisti": opened in the 1960s, it offers hospitality to artists in search of inspiration, who in return, donated one of their works. Today, the Casa hosts exhibitions, workshop and all manner of activities open to the public.
The Hidden Treasures itineraries were designed in order to give visitors a chance to get to know places in Garda Trentino that are off the beaten track. For this reason, the signposting is not always in the same style and sometimes missing altogether. We therefore recommend you to take a good map with you on these excursions. And then bear in mind your general reference points: Lake Garda = South, Monte Stivo = East, Rocchetta = West, Arco Castle = North.
The telephone number for the emergency services is 112.

Start from the parking lot near Canale. Follow the signs and take the paved path that climbs towards the village. Immediately on the right you fill find Casa Artisti, and the village square just beyond. Keep right and continue until you reach the Agricultural Tools Museum. Leaving the village, continue towards Calvola. Just outside Canale, a short detour on the right leads to the monument to the "Strambevie", depicting four villagers engaged in a neighborhood meeting. The monument celebrates the “Vicinia”: an institution of medieval origin still active in Ville del Monte. From here continue along the road in the direction of Calvola, keep going straight on until you reach the fountain near the church of S. Giovanni. In front of the church, take the portico to reach a panoramic point with view on Lake Garda. To return to the starting point, follow the same route backwards.
