Snønipa

Snønipa reaches an elevation of 1826.8 meters above sea level and stands as part of the Breheimen mountain range in western Norway.

The mountain territory transferred from Jølster Municipality to Sunnfjord Municipality in January 2020 following regional administrative restructuring in Sogn og Fjordane county.

Local residents maintain traditional practices of mountain farming and outdoor activities, connecting generations through shared experiences in the Snønipa landscape.

Mountaineers planning to climb Snønipa need specialized equipment and should check weather forecasts, as conditions can change rapidly at higher elevations.

The mountain's position enables visitors to observe both permanent glaciers and numerous lakes while standing at the summit during clear weather conditions.
