Kistefjellet, Mountain summit in Troms og Finnmark, Norway
Kistefjellet is a mountain summit in northern Norway that rises to 1,001 meters above sea level. The peak stands between Gisundet and Rossfjordvatnet, overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Communications infrastructure at the summit started operations in 1964 with FM radio broadcasts, followed by television signals beginning in 1966. These early transmissions brought connectivity to the remote northern region.
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute maintains a measuring station at the peak, contributing to weather monitoring across the northern region.
An unpaved road stretches 8.9 kilometers from the Fv86 highway to the summit with an average grade of 11 percent. The route requires four-wheel drive vehicles and accessibility varies by season and weather conditions.
A 78-meter transmission mast at the summit distributes radio, television, mobile, and internet signals across the region. This equipment makes the remote mountain an essential connection point for surrounding communities.
