The village, which lies at the foot of the peaks Presanella at the beginning of Val di Peio, in recent years has experienced a real boom in development.

Since time immemorial, Ossana was a political, administrative and religious center of the top of the valley of Val di Sole, due to its location at the confluence of the valleys Vermiglio and Peio .  The first written mention of it found at the end of the 12th century - when it was known as Castrum Vulsane .  A recently conducted in the hills of San Michele archaeological excavations suggest that even in the Bronze Age people lived here .  Throughout the Middle Ages and in modern times Ossana was a thriving village, mainly due to the nearby, in Fucino, zhelezodobyvayuschih mines and trade with Lombardy .  Its history is closely connected with the history of the castle, ownership of which is disputed bishops of Trento and Tyrolean counts and which is inhabited by many noble feudal family - from Federici to Geydorfov and Bertelli .  In 1525, the year here erupted bloody peasant revolt, and in 1918, the year at the end of the First World War, Italian troops, who came from Tonale, started a fire, during which burned the old rectory of the 12th century .

Today, one of the most exciting attractions Ossana is a massive structure, attracting the attention of all, without exception, tourists - standing on the hill of the Castle of San Michele. The castle is a classic vantage point located in a strategically important location. He probably has a Lombard origin, although mentioned for the first time only in 1191, the year. Until the late 13th century it was owned by the Bishops of Trento, and was then captured by the Tyrolean Count Maynard. Today the castle belongs to the government of the autonomous region of Trentino-Alto Adige, which initiated the restoration work.
