Topography

The Sulzkogel lies about 3.5 kilometres south of the winter sports resort of Kühtai. To the west a sharp arête drops away from the summit of the Sulzkogel into the valley of Längental, separating the cirques of Mittagskar in the northwest and Stierkar in the south. To the northeast below the steep northeast face and east arête lies the Finstertal valley and the Finstertalspeicher, a reservoir belonging to the Sellrain-Silz Power Station. To the north along a sharp arête are the Mittagsturm pinnacle (2,929 m (AA)), the twin peaks of the Mittagsköpfe (2,895 m (AA) and 2,934 m (AA)) and the Zwölferkogel (2,988 m (AA)). To the south is the Gamskogel (2,965 m (AA)). Between the Sulzkogel and the Gamskogel below a wide rocky ridge lies the Gamskogelferner, a glacier that descends to an elevation of 2,700 m (AA).
