[edit] Geography
Sulden lies at the foot of the Ortler, in the Vinschgau valley east of the Stelvio Pass. It is 1900 m above sea level, with a population of 400.
[edit] History
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.
[edit] Famous residents
Reinhold Messner owns a herd of Yaks there, and also the "Messner Mountain Museum Ortles".
