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 meters
- The Western summit is 2,370 meters
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 2405 m) across to the summit, the so-called Styggedal traverse, which is a multi-day trek across Store Skagastølstind, Vetle Skagastølstind (#18, 2340m), Sentraltind (#13, 2348 m), the eastern and then western summits of Styggedalstind, and then descending from Jervvasstind (#12, 2351 m), bagging 6 of Norway's 20 tallest peaks at once.
