Public transport
If you didn't come by car, travelling in the area will be stressful and annoying, as public transport is not developed very well. Local bus companies will bring you at least to the most important tourist areas. But once you arrived at your destination, you will like the easy access to many mountain groups and huts by cable cars and/or well marked trails - the infrastructure for the hiker and alpinist itself around Sulden is developed pretty well.Getting there
The Ortler Group is accessed best from North via the Reschenpass if you are coming from Austria and via the Stilfser Joch if you are coming from Switzerland or Italy. Train connections are only existing from Meran to Schluderns in the Vinschagu valley, from there you will have to get a bus to Sulden.Coordinates
