Sulden am Ortler offers 44 kilometres of high-mountain skiing beneath the imposing Ortler massif, with elevations from 1,900 to 3,250 metres creating one of Italy's highest and most snow-sure resorts. The area combines wide-open glacier terrain with challenging black runs and extensive off-piste possibilities, all set against the backdrop of the Ortler—at 3,905 metres, South Tyrol's highest peak. Modern snowmaking systems cover 60% of all marked runs, complementing natural snowfall that averages 7 metres annually at higher elevations. The resort's exceptional altitude ensures reliable snow conditions throughout an extended season, typically operating from November through May with consistent quality across all sectors.

Sulden - Madritsch
This Sulden am Ortler cam at Sulden - Madritsch provides sweeping views of the surrounding slopes.
The Sulden lift system comprises 11 modern installations strategically positioned to maximise access to high-alpine terrain. The network features three key access routes from the village: the Kanzel and Langenstein gondolas plus the Madritsch chair, efficiently distributing skiers across the mountain to minimise congestion even during peak periods. Recent infrastructure investments have introduced weather protection bubbles on chairlifts, RFID ticketing technology, and expanded uphill capacity by 25%, effectively eliminating queues throughout most of the season. The system's thoughtful design enables excellent circulation across distinctly different skiing zones, from wide-open Madritsch bowls to technical Langenstein slopes.

Location
Set within the Stelvio National Park 100 kilometres northwest of Bolzano, Sulden occupies an extraordinary high-valley position at 1,900 metres elevation, surrounded by 14 peaks exceeding 3,000 metres. The traditional mountain village maintains authentic Alpine architecture and strong cultural connections to the region's unique trilingual heritage, with Italian, German, and Ladin influences evident in local cuisine and customs. The resort's exceptional setting creates remarkable skiing backdrops, particularly from the Madritsch sector which offers direct views of the Königspitze and Ortler summits. Sulden's strategic location places it within South Tyrol's Ortler Skiarena region, with neighbouring resorts including Trafoi and Watles accessible on unified lift passes.

Season Info
The Sulden winter season typically runs from late November through early May, with optimal conditions from December through April. The area's exceptional elevation ensures outstanding snow preservation throughout winter, with temperatures regularly remaining below freezing even during sunny periods. Early operations concentrate around the Madritsch sector before expanding across the entire network by mid-December. January and February deliver peak powder opportunities, particularly on north-facing slopes that receive minimal direct sunlight. Spring brings increasingly stable weather while maintaining excellent skiing conditions, especially during morning hours after overnight freezes, with corn snow developing through daily freeze-thaw cycles on sun-exposed sectors.
