Hårteigen, Mountain summit in Hardangervidda National Park, Norway.
Hårteigen rises 1,690 meters above sea level, featuring steep grey cliffs and a flat top visible across the Hardangervidda plateau.
The first documented ascent of Hårteigen took place on August 18, 1812, when climbers Christen Smith, J. Fr. Schouw, and Nils Hertzberg reached the summit.
The mountain's name combines Old Norse 'hárr' meaning grey and German 'zeigen' meaning show, reflecting its role as a natural navigation landmark.
The mountain climb requires technical skills to navigate steep ice and snow conditions, with July and August offering the most favorable climbing weather.
Hårteigen stands with 480 meters prominence above the surrounding terrain, serving as a reference point for travelers crossing the expansive Hardangervidda plateau.
