Ølfjellet, Mountain summit in Saltfjellet range, Norway.
Ølfjellet is a mountain summit in the Saltfjellet range featuring two distinct peaks, with the main summit at 1,751 meters and a secondary peak at 1,651 meters positioned to the north. The dual peaks create a recognizable profile within this northern Norwegian mountain chain.
The early surveying and mapping of the mountain contributed significantly to understanding the topography of northern Norway. This cartographic work helped establish knowledge of the region's mountain systems.
The mountain holds significance in Sami heritage, with its Norwegian name Ølfjellet alongside the traditional Lule Sami name Uvbágájsse. Both names reflect the cultural identity of the region and its indigenous populations.
The mountain can be accessed through hiking trails from Lønsdal village located near the base. Visitors should prepare for northern mountain conditions and bring appropriate gear.
