    Tips

    Of Snøhetta's major summits, Stortoppen is the tallest, towering to 2,286 metres (7,500 ft), making it the highest mountain in Norway outside Jotunheimen. The views from the summit are sensational, with many of the nation’s most celebrated mountain ranges clearly visible on a good day.

    It's most often ascended from Snøheim or Reinheim and the hike along its east ridge is rocky, tough but not overly technical. It can also be ascended from Åmotdalshytta via its broad, north-west shoulder.

      The main peak of Mount Snøhetta with a view of the surrounding Dovrefjell. Tour from the Snøheimen hut, a total of approx. 5 hours of walking (there and back), most of it over steep scree fields. Surefootedness and good footwear are essential!

        At 2,286 m, Snøhetta, Stortoppen, is the highest peak in Dovrefjell. Magnificent views. Here are a few practical tips:
        Starting point: The most popular route starts at Snøheim (a DNT hut), accessible by shuttle bus from the parking lot in Hjerkinn (in summer).
        Duration: Approx. 5–7 hours (round trip), depending on fitness and weather.
        Distance: Approximately 12–14 km total, with approximately 900 meters of elevation gain.
        Difficulty: Moderate to difficult. Not a via ferrata, but rocky, steep in places, and slippery when wet.
