=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.
