Store Styggedalstind
Store Styggedalstind is Norway's fourth-highest peak, located within the Hurrungane mountains, which are part of the Jotunheimen mountain range. It is 2,387 meters (7,831 ft) above sea level. The mountain is located in the municipality of Luster in the county of Vestland, Norway. This peak is located right between Sentraltind and Jervvasstind.
The first element of the name Store Styggedalstind is the genitive form of Styggedalen, while the last element is tind, which means "mountain top." The valley's name is a combination of stygg, which means "ugly" or "bad," and the finite form of dal, which means "dale" or "valley."
The ascent is moderately difficult. In descending order of complexity, there are three options:
- Climb up Jervvasstind (Norway's 12th highest peak) from Skogadalsben
- Cross the Jervvassbreen glacier and begin climbing from there
- Climb all of the summits from Store Skagasølstind to the summit—the Styggedal traverse
