Storvätteshågna, Mountain summit in Idre parish, Älvdalen Municipality, Sweden
Storvätteshågna is a mountain summit in the southern Scandinavian range located in the Dalarna region, rising to 1,204 meters above sea level. The peak sits in an alpine environment with rocky terrain and sparse vegetation typical of high mountain areas.
The mountain carries the Sami name Gealta, indicating centuries of indigenous presence in this mountain territory. The Dalarna region has long served as a homeland for Sami peoples who adapted their way of life to northern mountain conditions.
The mountain serves as one of the four designated peaks in the Svenska Fjälltoppsklassikern, a collection of notable Swedish mountain summits.
The area is best reached from Grövelsjön, where a trail leads toward the summit. The route demands mountain experience and varies in difficulty depending on the season and weather conditions.
A mountain tarn sits at the summit, creating its own small landscape feature in this alpine setting. On clear days, views extend far across the surrounding mountain ranges toward distant peaks.
