Storsylen

Storsylen rises to 1,763 meters above sea level, marking the highest point in the Sylan mountain range near the Swedish border.

The first documented ascent of this Norwegian peak occurred on October 15, 1972, with climbers approaching from the Swedish territory.

The mountain's name combines Norwegian words 'stor' meaning big and 'syl' referring to an awl, reflecting its physical characteristics.

The northern route offers an easier hiking path compared to the southern approach, which requires scrambling techniques for successful ascent.

The summit stands less than 100 meters from the Sweden-Norway border, providing views across both countries' territories.
