Skarstind or Skardstinden is a prominent part of the Galdhøpiggen mountain range in northwestern Jotunheimen, Norway, and is the sixth highest summit in the country.
The first ascent of the two lower summits remains unknown, but it is probable that they were climbed at the same time.
The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Storgrovtinden and Storgrovhøe to the north; Veslpiggen to the northeast; Galdhøpiggen, Keilhaus topp, and Storjuvtinden to the east; Store Tverråtinden and Svellnosbreahesten to the southeast; Bukkehøe and Lindbergtinden to the south; and Loftet to the west.
From the east, from Galdhøpiggen, it shows its steep wall with Nåle balancing on the left flank, as seen in the table.
Normally they rise from northwest towards southeast, which is why many summits are easiest to reach from the north side.
The summit can be reached without equipment if the conditions are good and there is very little snow on the talus slopes on the southwest face.
The normal ascent starts from Leirdalen up to Dummhøe, which is an easy, but rather steep climb of more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).
From the Western summit the flank seems nearly as forbidding as the wall itself, but at a close distance it is not too difficult and no equipment should be necessary.
