Store Skagastølstind
The most dramatic peak in the Hurrungane range, and the third-highest mountain in Norway. It is a classic high-mountain climbing goal in Northern Europe.
Store Skagastølstind, known as 'Stølen,' rises to about 2,405 metres. It stands in the Hurrungane range in western Jotunheimen, and its serrated ridges and steep rock walls make it a symbol of Norwegian mountaineering. Reaching the summit requires rock-climbing skills and ropes, so most people go with a guide from Turtagrø. Ordinary visitors can look at the peaks from the viewpoint on the Sognefjell Road or from Turtagrø.
