Colle Isarco (German: Gossensaß) is the main village of the comune. It dates back 4000 years, reflecting its position as a place to prepare for the Brenner Pass. In the 15th and 16th century, Gossensaß prospered due to silver mining. Today Colle Isarco benefits from the local tourism, especially during the winter when the ski resort in Ladurns is open.
