A remote and serious summit deep in the inner Sunnmøre Alps. Nonstinden sees few visitors despite its impressive altitude — a true wilderness objective that demands navigation skills, full alpine kit, and a stable multi-day weather window.
Long approach — verify road access to Norangsdalen before departure
Navigation skills essential — few tracks in this terrain
Full alpine kit: rope, glacier travel, crampons
The summit ridge is exposed — be prepared to turn around
Reserve for a confirmed stable weather window of at least two days
High — remote terrain with all aspects exposed, limited escape routes
“Remote, serious, and utterly rewarding. Nonstinden is true Sunnmøre ski alpinism. Few reach this summit. Those who do don't hurry to leave.”
“We found untracked snow in the northeast bowl on the 20th of April. That's what happens when you go deep enough into the mountains.”
