Sylvkallen
AdvancedSteep descent toward the Hjørundfjord on the front side, with more forgiving skiing on the backside. Accessible from Standalhytta. A peak that rewards bold line choices with incredible exposure.
Approach from Standalhytta area
Ascend via the moderate backside
Front side: very steep — expert only
Backside descent: good skiing conditions
Often combined with Kolåstinden from same base
High — steep north face, cornices
“Two peaks in one: the backside is forgiving, the front face is terrifying. Come here for the contrast — and only attempt the front if your skills match the terrain.”
“From Standalhytta you can see three excellent objectives. Sylvkallen's north face is for experts only — but the view from the top is worth it regardless of your line.”
