Sulden (German) or Solda (Italian) is a village at 1900 m a.s.l. in the west of the Val Venosta/Vinschgau valley, with a population of 400, belonging to the municipality of Stelvio/Stilfs.

It is located in a valley east of the Stelvio Pass, at the foot of the Cima Ortles/Ortler.

Due to its remote location, in AD 1802, the Austrian newspaper "Innsbrucker Wochenblatt" compared it to "Siberia of Tyrol", "where farmers dine with bears and kids ride on wolves".

Tourism changed this, as Sulden now has 2000 beds and eleven skilifts, part of Ortler Skiarena.

Reinhold Messner owns a herd of Yaks there, and also the "Messner Mountain Museum Ortles".
