Sandfloegga

Sandfloeggi rises to an elevation of 1,721 meters above sea level, standing as the dominant peak in the southern section of Hardangervidda plateau.

The mountain has served as a geographical boundary marker between municipalities, reflecting the territorial divisions that shaped Norwegian administrative regions through centuries.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices around Sandfloeggi's slopes, continuing centuries-old Norwegian mountain farming methods throughout summer months.

Hikers accessing Sandfloeggi should prepare for variable weather conditions and bring navigation equipment, as mountain fog can reduce visibility substantially.

From the summit, visitors can observe three major Norwegian glaciers: Folgefonna to the northwest, Hardangerjøkulen to the northeast, and additional ice fields.
