Surtningssue, Mountain summit in Jotunheimen National Park, Norway.

Surtningssue reaches an elevation of 2,368 meters with several distinct peaks, making it the seventh highest mountain in Norway within the Jotunheimen range.

Johan Sverdrup completed the first documented ascent of Surtningssue around 1840, establishing an early mountaineering achievement in Norwegian exploration history.

The mountain's name originates from Norwegian terms meaning 'the black one' and 'sow', reflecting the traditional practice of naming peaks after animal shapes.

The mountain expedition starts from Memurubu cabin near Lake Gjendin, with marked paths along the Muru river guiding hikers toward the summit.

The summit stands with a prominence of 718 meters and borders two municipalities, Vågå and Lom, while offering views of neighboring peaks like Veotinden and Besshø.
