The '''Sulzfluh''' is a [[mountain]] in the [[Rätikon]] range of the [[Alps]], located on the border between [[Austria]] and [[Switzerland]]. The closest locality is [[St. Antönien]], on the southern side.

It is well known by [[climbing|climbers]] and has a [[Via ferrata]] on the southern, Swiss face, in [[Graubünden]]. There are a total of  six known caves into the [[limestone]] mountain, with lengths between 800 and 3000 or more yards, with all entrances on the Eastern side, in Switzerland.<ref>[http://www.landesmuseum.at/pdf_frei_remote/VNFE_15_0103-0114.pdf Biological report about Cave bear in the caves. (german)]</ref>

The eastern side has a [[mountain path]] of grade T4,<ref>{{in lang|en}} [http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/hiking-trails.html Hiking in Switzerland, degree of difficulty]</ref>  allowing non-climbers to reach the 2817 metre summit.  This is part of a multi day walking route along the entire length of the Rätikon chain on the sunnier side, called "[[Prättigau]]er Höhenweg".<ref>{{in lang|en}} [http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/72-praettigauer-hoehenweg-landquart-klosters.html Hiking Switzerland past Sulzfluh, Graubünden] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140818114653/http://en.graubuenden.ch/hiking-switzerland/trekking/72-praettigauer-hoehenweg-landquart-klosters.html |date=2014-08-18 }}</ref>
