Urdanostindene, Mountain summit in Jotunheimen National Park, Norway
Urdanostindene is a mountain summit in Jotunheimen National Park standing at 2,157 meters high. The peak sits where three municipalities meet and attracts climbers from across the region.
The mountain gained protected status when Jotunheimen National Park was established in 1980. This designation has kept the area open for climbing and mountaineering activities.
Norwegian mountaineers consider Urdanostindene a significant location for technical climbing, with local guides passing climbing knowledge through generations.
The best climbing season runs from June through September when snow has largely melted. Outside these months, winter equipment and experience on frozen rock are needed.
A substantial glacier on the eastern face creates a dynamic climbing environment that shifts with the seasons. This ice field alters the difficulty of ascent routes throughout the year.
