Og - a small mountain village located within the well-known Italian resort of Alta Valtellina at an altitude of 1,550 meters above sea level and surrounded by some of the most beautiful alpine peaks - Ortls Gran zebras, Tercero, Cevedale, the San Mateo, cofinal, Chimi Piazzi, etc. . While Og not yet affected by mass tourism and its attendant negative effects. On the contrary, here you can enjoy a calm and peaceful atmosphere and relax in natural surroundings.

On the territory of the village is a small peat bog Paluachchio protected by the state and is of interest in terms of botany. I must say that today, peat bogs have virtually disappeared from the territory of Italy because of the ongoing process of drainage and earthworks, as well as due to climate change. But in Aage it remained one of these rare ecosystems today. Unfortunately, unlike the majority of peatlands in Northern Europe, Paluachchio is on the verge of extinction. His natural state was violated as a result of several drying processes, undertaken between 1920 and 1930 years. Needless swamp surrounded by meadows, pastures and pine forests, where you can see pine, larch, fir and birch. Not far from Paluachchio located Dossachchio Fort, built between 1909 and 1912, the years for the protection of the borders with Austria.

Another attraction is the Fort Venini Ogi, a long time in a derelict state, and now attracts tourists. Recently, it was reconstructed, restored rooms and towers. The history of the fort and the surrounding areas are closely connected with the history of the Second World War here in the Alps.

Not far from Ogi are medieval Torre di Fraele - expressive monument to history. Until recently, it was the most advanced military outpost in the defense of the town of Bormio.
