Store Skagasølstind

Store Skagasølstind, Norway's third-highest peak, is located at the westernmost end of Jotunheimen. The 2,405-meter (7,890-foot) peak is part of Jotunheimen's Hurrungane range. Sir William Cecil Slingsby, a British adventurer and climber, was the first to scale it in 1876. It is also the highest peak in the Hurrungane group, Norway's highest alpine mountains, which offer several other beautiful climbs.

While the summit is a popular mountaineering challenge, it is a pretty demanding ascent. It's undeniably more difficult than the country's two highest peaks.

The trailhead, Turtagro Hotel, is located 12 kilometers east of the northeast end of Norway's longest fjord, Sognefjorden.
Sogndal Airport is 70 kilometers west of Turtagro. Alternatively, you can drive or take a bus from Oslo, which is approximately 400 kilometers away.

July, August, and the first few weeks of September. The difficult part of the climb Store Skagasølstind is hidden by snow and ice for the remainder of the year.
