About the area

Sulden is a compact 33 km area that works best for beginners and families. Some 14 km — 42% of the pistes — are green or blue, with six short easy runs next to a lift base and a magic carpet for first turns, so progress happens without long transfers. Around 11 km of red keeps intermediates busy. Experts get less: 8 km is black, expert or freeride (25%), including 1 km of marked freeride, and the longest vertical on a single run is 502 m, so serious skiers will exhaust it quickly.

Twelve lifts serve the mountain: three gondolas and two cable cars mean small children can be loaded without chairlift stress, plus five chairlifts, one drag lift and the magic carpet. The slopes run from 1,843 m to 3,211 m, a high, snow-reliable spread, and the longest run measures 2,991 m.
