The Hurrungane Range is famed for its rugged peaks, glacial formations, and geological splendour. Store Skagastølstind, the highest summit at 2,405 metres, is a must-see for those interested in the history of mountaineering. First ascended in 1876 by Englishman William Cecil Slingsby, this peak, often called “Storen,” continues to challenge climbers with its steep ridges and icy paths. Alongside other notable summits like Store Austanbotntind and Jervvasstind, the range provides unparalleled opportunities for exploration amidst its pristine alpine environment.
