Sentraltind, Mountain summit in Luster Municipality, Norway
Sentraltind is a mountain summit rising to 2,348 meters within Jotunheimen National Park, marked by steep rock walls and multiple climbing routes on its eastern slopes. The peak sits on a ridge connecting neighboring summits and features exposed rock passages that define the climbing experience.
The first recorded ascent took place on August 7, 1885, when climbers Carl Hall, Mathias Soggemoen, and Torger Sulheim reached the summit. This early climb opened the peak to the wider mountaineering community and established the climbing routes that are still used today.
The mountain's name comes from Norwegian words 'sentral' meaning central and 'tind' meaning peak, reflecting its location within the Hurrungane range. For climbers visiting the region, it serves as a landmark that marks their progress through this famous alpine area.
Climbing this peak requires mountaineering skill and proper gear for the exposed rock sections. The climbing season runs from June to September when weather is most stable and snow has melted from lower elevations.
This peak ranks among Norway's ten highest summits at 2,348 meters. Many visitors focus on reaching the top but overlook how the journey along the connecting ridge between neighboring peaks is equally rewarding.
