Cavedago, on the Paganella plateau

Between Andalo and Spormaggiore, on the Paganella plateau, Cavedago is a mountain village at around eight hundred and sixty metres, with meadows, woods and the Paganella and Brenta Dolomites on the horizon. The plateau lives on tourism in winter and summer, and Cavedago is part of it while staying quieter than the larger resorts.

The market includes village houses, newer homes and flats used as second homes. For work and larger services people drive down towards the Adige valley and Trento. The climate is in zone F: long, cold winters, so insulation, windows and the heating system need careful assessment.

This is a growing, young village. There were 578 residents in 2023, up 9.1% on the 530 of 2011; the average age is 44.1, below the 45.4 of the province of Trento, and over-65s make up 21.5%, against 23.6%. 7.3% of residents are foreign nationals. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Cavedago is in seismic zone 3, like 146 other municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.058 g. For a house built before recent standards, ask for the drawings and details of any structural work.

There is one important difference in the land registry: Trentino uses the tavolare system, with the Land Book (Libro fondiario), and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. So the report cannot trace the address to its land parcel and says so; ownership records are requested from the Land Book offices. Landslides and torrent floods, on the other hand, are checked at the exact spot using the official maps available.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

For Cavedago the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps: the land registry here uses the tavolare (land book) system. The report cannot give a parcel reference, but it still checks risks, services and transport at the address and states this clearly.
