Sulden am Ortler

Italy

Trentino-Alto Adige

Dramatic, remote skiing beneath South Tyrol's highest peak

Is Sulden am Ortler right for you?

  • Sits directly beneath the Ortler, the highest peak in South Tyrol
  • Genuinely dramatic, high-altitude terrain with a proper sense of remoteness
  • Glacier skiing extends the reliable snow window at either end of the season
  • A small, quiet village that puts the mountain first
  • Heads up: It's a remote, out-of-the-way base, so don't expect much in the way of nightlife or a wide choice of restaurants.

“Sulden am Ortler sits beneath South Tyrol's highest peak, its dramatic, high-altitude terrain feeling genuinely remote compared with the busier Dolomites resorts. Best for skiers who want serious scenery and reliable glacier snow, in a small, quiet village that keeps the focus on the mountain."
