Kyrkja, Mountain summit in Jotunheimen National Park, Norway.

Standing at 2032 meters above sea level, Kyrkja presents a pyramidal peak surrounded by mountain lakes and four converging valleys in central Jotunheimen.

Established within Jotunheimen National Park in 1980, Kyrkja stands among the 291 Norwegian peaks exceeding 2000 meters in elevation.

The Norwegian name Kyrkja, meaning 'The Church', reflects the mountain's cathedral-like shape that rises distinctly above the surrounding landscape.

The ascent begins at Leirvassbu Mountain Lodge at 1405 meters, following a marked trail through boulder fields to reach the summit at 2032 meters.

The mountain features a Class 2 scrambling route that leads climbers through a series of snow fields and rock formations to reach its pointed summit.
