Colle (Coll) is the smallest and highest hamlet in the municipality of Funes, which extends across the entire Dolomite valley of the same name. The individual farmsteads that make up the hamlet are situated at an altitude of 1,350 to 1,590 metres on the sunny slope above San Pietro di Funes.

Parts of the area are already within the Puez-Odle Nature Park, whose northern end is marked by the Passo delle Erbe, a 2,006 metre-high mountain pass. The nature park vividly illustrates the geological history of the Dolomites: Types of rock, sedimentary layers and forms of weathering reveal the individual geological eras. An array of red, brown, blue and white tones testifies to a time when seas and volcanoes covered the area and prehistoric reptiles populated the landscape.

Today, the small road to the Passo delle Erbe is popular with mountain bikers and motorcyclists. The pass is also the starting point for the mountain tour on the Sasso Putia, a place where, according to legend, witches dance on full moon nights in July. In winter, the pass becomes a meeting point for cross-country skiers, who appreciate the Russis-Halsl Hut-Passo delle Erbe trail, eight kilometres long, and the connecting Roda de Börz cross-country ski track.

Horse rides with panoramic stops, half-day tours, and full-day tours with a stop at a mountain hut, organised by one of the riding stables in the Valle Isarco, also await you in Colle. They start on the sunny slopes of the Funes Valley and are a wonderful alternative to hiking for experienced riders.
