Store Styggedalstind, is the Fourth Highest Summit In Norway , located within the area known as Hurrungane , which is part of the Jotunheimen mountain range.

There are two summits on the mountain:
  • The eastern summit is 2,387 meters, with a Primary Factor of 155 metres

  • The western summit is 2,370 meters, with a primary factor of 25 metres, 300 away from the eastern summit.


The ascent is relatively challenging, and there are three possibilities, in increasing order of difficulty:
  • Climb via Jervvasstind (Norway's 12th highest peak), originating in Skogadalsbøen

  • Traverse the glacier at Jervvassbreen and climb from there

  • Climb all the peaks from Store Skagastølstind (Norway's third highest peak at 2,405 m) across to the summit, the so-called Styggedal traverse, which is a multi-day trek across Store Skagastølstind , Vetle Skagastølstind (#18, 2,340m), Sentraltind (#13, 2,348 m), the eastern and then western summits of Styggedalstind, and then descending from Jervvasstind (#12, 2,351 m), bagging 6 of Norway's 20 tallest peaks at once.
