Jervvasstind, Mountain summit in Luster Municipality, Norway
Jervvasstind is a mountain in the Hurrungane range that rises to 2,351 meters and ranks as Norway's ninth-highest peak. The summit features a prominent shape and connects to a ridge system linking multiple neighboring peaks.
The mountain was first documented to have been climbed in 1876 when William Cecil Slingsby and Emanuel Mohn reached its summit. This early ascent marked the start of a long history of mountaineers exploring this Norwegian peak.
The name combines Norwegian words: jerv for wolverine, vatn for lake, and tind for peak, reflecting the local landscape and wildlife. These linguistic roots connect the mountain to its natural surroundings.
Most climbers begin their approach from the village of Skjolden to the west, with route options suited to different experience levels. The climbing season works best during warmer months when snow melts and conditions are most stable.
The peak forms the eastern end of a notable ridge connecting several neighboring summits, including Store Skagastølstind and Store Styggedalstind. This ridge offers experienced climbers an engaging traverse with varied elevations and technical challenges.
