It is surrounded by green meadows, coniferous forests and the imposing, snow-capped peaks of the Adamello group. In the winter months it has a ski area with 4 chair lifts and 8 pistes of varying difficulty linked to the pistes of nearby Pontedilegno. This means you can get on your skis in the village and make your way up to the Presena glacier at a height of 3,000 metres, passing through Pontedilegno and Passo Tonale on your way. The black run in the village is one of the most exciting in the entire linked ski area.

The Roccolo Ventura chairlift also runs during the summer (check days and times of opening) and has hooks to carry mountain bikes to make the ascent easy for everyone. Lush pastures and magnificent larch forests are enchanting places where you can restore your spirits. In August every year the town hosts Art in the Street, an international gathering of wood sculptors where you can watch the artists at work in the streets of the old town. The Museum of the White War which houses rare war material found on the glaciers of the Adamello, has new premises in the town centre. During the summer, the new football pitch, located close to the ski lifts, hosts various football teams for pre-championship training. It s not unusual to meet football players and getphotos and autographs.

14 Vezza d Oglio Vezza d Oglio is a pretty town in the upper Valle Camonica, 9 km from Pontedilegno and 9 km from Edolo. Nestling at the confluence of two lateral valleys which frame the village, the Val Paghera in the Adamello Regional Park and the Val Grande in the Stelvio National Park, it looks out over an incomparable and enchanting landscape full of surprises. This is where you can regenerate mind and body all year round in close contact with unspoilt nature. The town is rich in history and local culture, glimpses of which can be seen in the streets of the town centre: the ancient Tower of the Federici family, the remains of a noble residence, and the Parish Church. In winter, the focus is on snowshoe walking, or as they say here caspolada. Every year in February an important event takes place: the Caspolada al chiar di luna - a moonlit snowshoe walk.

For angling enthusiasts there is excellent fly-fishing in the International Fly Fishing Centre at the Adamello Events Centre.
