Oksskolten, Mountain summit in Nordland, Norway

Oksskolten rises to 1916 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes, glacial formations, and extensive views across Northern Norway's mountain ranges.

The mountain received its first documented climb in 1883, marking the beginning of organized mountaineering expeditions in Northern Norway's Okstindan range.

The Norwegian Trekking Association's Hemnes chapter maintains the mountain's hiking traditions by organizing guided summer ascents for experienced climbers.

The ascent requires specialized equipment including crampons and ropes, with a challenging 14-kilometer round trip taking approximately 10 hours to complete.

The summit offers views extending from the Norwegian Sea to Sweden, with visibility reaching both the Vega archipelago and Lofoten on clear days.
