Sluderno, a castle and a railway in Val Venosta

Sluderno is a village in upper Val Venosta, in South Tyrol, on the valley floor at just over 900 metres. Above the village stands Castel Coira (Churburg), the castle of the Trapp counts with a well-known armoury, and around it apple orchards and meadows climb towards the slopes. Most people speak German and the official name is also Schluderns.

For its size, the village is well served by public transport. Public transport data show 11 stops and 10 lines, 9 of them bus routes and 1 a rail line: the Val Venosta railway links the area with Merano and on to Bolzano. The climate is zone F, with long, cold winters.

The population is young and slightly growing. There are 1,873 residents in 2023, up 2.2% since 2011. The average age is 43.1 and over-65s are 19.4%, in line with South Tyrol as a whole. Foreign residents are 7.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, which in the province of Bolzano is high.

Earthquake risk is low: Sluderno is in seismic zone 4, like all of South Tyrol, with an expected acceleration of 0.103 g. In the mountains, torrents and alluvial fans at the foot of the slopes matter more, and these are checked on the official maps for the address.

South Tyrol uses the tavolare system, land registers in the Austrian tradition. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish parcel maps for this province, so the report cannot trace the plot from the map: parcel details come from the provincial cadastre and land register.
