The Sulzfluh belongs with the main summit at 2818 m above sea level. A. Höhe and the 2812 m high west summit to the ten highest alpine peaks in the Rätikon between Graubünden and Vorarlberg . The Carschinahütte of the SAC is located directly below the south face of the Sulzfluh .
Its first certified ascent took place in 1782. The border summit separates the Gauertal in the Montafon from St. Antönien in Graubünden .
geology
A geological peculiarity can be observed on the ascent: You change with one step from the mica slate in the north over to the snow-white limestone.
caves
In addition to the well-known Sulzfluhhöhlen Kirchhöhle (800 m length), Seehöhle (1,500 m length), Abyssal Cave and Herrenhöhle (Herrenbalme), there are the large cave systems of Oberer Seehöhle and Apollohöhle (3,080 m length) on the eastern flank of the mountain, above the deep karst hollow the pits between Sulzfluh and Weißplatte.
Ascent
The mighty and relatively holey Kalkberg, with its cliffs sloping steeply on all sides, is one of the most beautiful mountains of the Rätikon. In the south face between Sulzfluh main summit and west summit there are several climbing routes with a high degree of difficulty. Likewise in the west face and north-west face of the neighboring Kleine Sulzfluh (2,708 m).
Tilisuna Hut
A hiking trail leads from the Tilisunahütte over the Sulzfluh plateau to the summit cross of the main summit. The ascent from the hut takes about two hours. Another moderate ascent leads from Partnun through the Gemstobel (here a short rocky step) to the eastern ridge, where it meets the path from the Tilisunahütte.
Lindauer Hut
The ascent from the Lindauer Hütte in the Gauertal takes place over the Porzalengawald, west past the bank heads and through the throat onto the bare karst plateau of the Sulzfluh plateau.
Since 2006, it has also been possible to climb the via ferrata. The entrance is above the Lindauer Hütte at 2,150 m and at 2,260 m the 350-meter-long Gauablick cave is crossed.
Partnun in St. Antöniental
In 2005 a via ferrata to the summit was opened from Partnun ( St. Antönien ) . The challenging entry into the almost vertically rising karsts is partially secured with chains. The level of difficulty for this variant is T3.
The via ferrata is 750 m long with an altitude difference of around 450 m. The climbing time for the via ferrata is approx. 2 ½ hours. It takes around 1½ hours to get started from Partnun, around 1 hour from Carschinahütte and around 2 hours from Tilisunahütte .
Of course, it is not absolutely necessary to climb the mountain vertically, if you prefer it to be challenging but more leisurely, you can hike along the entire Rätikon chain on the "Prättigauer Höhenweg" long-distance hiking trail.
