The Paluaccio di Oga Nature Reserve, created in 1983, is one of the oldest and most fascinating peat bogs in the Alps, dating back about 13,000 years. Covering more than 30 hectares within the Stelvio National Park, it is home to an extraordinary ecosystem.
The reserve hosts a variety of natural habitats, including low and intermediate peat bogs, wet meadows, Nardus grasslands, and wooded areas. Among its rare species is the Drosera rotundifolia, a tiny carnivorous plant.
The most distinctive feature? The sphagnum moss mounds, constantly growing and shaping the landscape.
In summer, the reserve becomes an open-air classroom with educational workshops and activities for adults and children, offering a unique way to explore this ancient environment.
