Jakta

Jakta rises to an elevation of 1,588 meters above sea level, forming part of a mountain ridge between Hornindalsvatnet and Norangsfjorden in Møre og Romsdal.

British mountaineers H.C. Bowen and Cecil W. Patchell accomplished the first documented ascent of Jakta on August 2, 1896, marking the beginning of recorded climbs.

The mountain stands as a natural landmark in Norwegian mountaineering traditions, with its name and presence documented in the 1953 publication Rock Climbs in Sunnmøre.

Access to Jakta requires following highway E39 from Ålesund toward Bergen, then taking RV60 to Magerholm-Ørsneset ferry before continuing to the Norangsdal junction.

From its summit, climbers can observe Store Skagastølstind and neighboring mountains over 100 kilometers to the southeast across the Norwegian landscape.
