Store Kvitingskjølen

Store Kvitingskjølen is the highest peak on the mountain Kvitingskjølen (located on the northern edge of Jotunheimen) in Lom Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It has a height of 2,064 meters. Vestre Kvitingskjølen is another peak with a height of 2,060 meters above sea level. Two peaks separated by a shallow saddle. Norway's oldest shoe, a leather shoe from the Bronze Age, was found on Kvitingskjølen in 2006. This peak has a large, fine round wattle. It is a relatively isolated massif divided from neighboring mountains by valleys – Ottadalen in the north and Smådalen in the south. A number of shallow scree covered ridges lead to its two peaks. These ridges are separated by streams that have carved deep ravines on the lower slopes. Due to the fact that Kvitingskjølen is rounded, it is less popular among tourists. The valley that divides it from the rest of Jotunheimen, Smådalen, is rich in wildlife, including wolverine. The valleys that surround Kvitingskjølen are also rich wit
