The best hotels in Sulden

In the heart of Ortler in Sulden

In the South Tyrolean West in Vinschgau, surrounded by numerous 3.000 meter peaks, lies Sulden. The mountain village may seem small with its barely 400 inhabitants for city slickers, but it has exactly what a hectic big city lacks: peace and tranquility and clear fresh mountain air.

Sulden in South Tyrol is a hiking paradise with over 80 kilometers of hiking trails. Due to its location at 1.900 meters also in the midsummer the temperatures are pleasant and therefore ideal for walks and excursions. The sappy green of the mountain pastures, the radiant sunshine, the scent of arolla pine forests and alpine roses, above the blue sky and the mountains covered in eternal ice … Here in Sulden you will find yourself become one with nature. Even, while skiing in the ski-area of Sulden, you will feel yourself immersed in the glacial world of Ortler, where the blue sky and the glistening snow create a panorama which you will cherish for a long time to come.

Playground of the stars

Did you know that Angela Merkel spends her holidays regularly in Sulden? Or that Michael Jackson spent his vacation here in 2001? South Tyrolean extreme mountaineer Reinhold Messner in particular is fond of Sulden. He owns here various alpine pastures where he raises Yaks and Castle Juval, where he opened in 2004 the Messner Mountain Museum Ortles.

The Museum is built underground at Mt. Ortler and is entirely dedicated to the subject “ice and snow”. Here visitors learn about Antarctica, the power of avalanches and everything else that might prove useful when hiking in the glaciers of the world. The adjacent restaurant “Yak & Yeti” serves South Tyrolean and Himalayan meals alike.

Visit the nearby villages Gomagoi or Prad at pass Stilfserjoch; follow the adventure trail Naturaonda Evopäd, where you can “train the seven intelligences”, before relaxing in one of the beautiful hotels in Sulden.
