Scandinavian Mountains over 2000 metres - James Baxter

Scandinavia has a wealth of spectacular mountains

Though only half the height of the Alps and not quite on the same scale of grandeur, they can match the Alps in almost every other respect.

In Romsdal in Norway is Trollvegen, the highest vertical wall in Europe at 1700m. Between the largest fjords in the world on Norway's west coast are the largest glaciers in Europe.

Sarek National Park in north Sweden is by far the greatest wilderness area of Europe. Indeed, the mountainous areas of Scandinavia are much larger than the Alps and Pyrenees put together. More about Scandinavian mountains ›

As of Sept 2005 I have climbed all 137 Scandinavian mountains over 2000 metres, and this website is intended as a guide to others who wish to experience the splendour of Scandinavia.
