Starting from the Malga di San Colombano, at almost 2500 m altitude, the route descends along path N280, on a wide and well-maintained carriage road. Along the walk, you encounter some locations, such as Pozza and Sposina Bassa, as well as the Fort of Oga, dedicated to the Valtellina captain Venini, gold medalist for military valor. At the end of the Second World War, the Fort was abandoned by military troops but remained guarded until 1958, when the army decided to decommission it permanently, considering its function exhausted. From this historic monument, the route continues, still on path N280, northwards until reaching the locality Crap del Maro, where there is also a picnic area. From here, you follow the same path until the center of the Oga district, where you take path N277 to the right on Via delle Scuole until reaching near the parking area.
