San Lorenzo Bonfires in Oga: experience the magic of summer from Miramonti Park Hotel

If you wish to witness this extraordinary summer celebration, the Miramonti Park Hotel in Bormio is the perfect base to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
An ancient tradition ignited on the slopes of San Colombano
Every year, on the evening before the feast of Saint Lawrence, the community of Oga honors its patron saint by lighting majestic bonfires along the slopes of San Colombano. This ancestral ritual, visible even from Bormio, offers a breathtaking display with towering flames rising into the night sky.
The symbolic meaning of the bonfires
The first bonfire is lit beside the small parish church in Oga, followed one by one by others until the final blaze in the Tadè area. This ritual symbolizes the fires once lit at the end of the harvest, when a sheaf was burned and its ashes spread over the fields to encourage soil fertility for the coming year.
