Store Knutsholstinden is a mountain in Vågå Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway.

William Cecil Slingsby made the first ascent of the higher Store Skagastølstind in 1876 which was hailed as a major achievement, and Heftye soon felt it eclipsed his own first ascent of Store Knutsholstinden the year before.

He set out to ascend Store Skagastølstind in 1880 and successfully used the popular route that is now named after him to reach the summit.

His main claim was that Store Knutsholstind was at least as difficult as Storen, thus, must be regarded a first grade mountain.

Slingsby was approached by Marie Sønstenes, a woman who lived on farm near Store Knutsholstind, who claimed that she knew a straightforward route.
