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.

Language

Sulden is located in the northeast Italian region of Trentino Alto Adige in the province of South Tyrol. This small province has been part of Austria until the World War I, when it passed to Italy. Because of its political past, the languages spoken in this region are German, Italian and Ladin.

Famous residents

Reinhold Messner owns a herd of yaks there, and also the Ortler branch of the Messner Mountain Museum.

Reinhold Messner was born in 1944, in Brixen. Messner was the first person in the world to climb all the 14 eight thousanders without the need of oxygen masks. The eight thousanders are the 14 highests mountains on earth, located in Asia on the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges. They include mountains such as the Mount Everest, K2 and Makalu. Messner has written many biographies and travel guides but also worked as co-producer for some films. Messner now lives in Juval Castle and in the recent years has opened 6 museums.
