Galdhpiggen is the highest mountain in Norway, at 2469 m above sea level. It is located within the municipality of Lom, in the Jotunheimen mountain area. The access to Galdhpiggen is not especially hard: 4 hours walk up, 2 hours down. From the summit, 35000 km of area is visible. Galdhpiggen has earlier been challenged for the title as the highest mountain in Norway by Glittertind, as some measurments showed Glittertind was slightly higher including the glacier at its peak. That glacier has, however, shrunk in recent years, and Glittertind is now only 2464 m even including the glacier. Hence, the dispute has been settled in Galdhpiggen's favour.
