[1] The mountain is situated on the absolute eastern flank of Jotunheimen between the Veodalen and Sjodalen valleys and is the southernmost and highest summit on a rather long ridge containing six other 2,000-metre (6,600 ft) peaks.

The summit is easily climbed from Sjodalen valley either from Hindsæter Mountain Lodge, which is the longer route, or from the confluence of the Russa and Sjoa rivers.

Both ways the route will start in low birch forest and gradually enter long talus slopes and plains with many snow patches in the summer.

In the winter, the summit is easily reached, but one should be very wary about the proximity of the northern wall, falling 500 metres (1,600 ft) into Nautgarden.

To the west many of the summits in Jotunheimen can be admired - most prominent among them from this vantage point - Glittertind, the distant neighbor to the northwest.
