Helvetestinden (lit. 'Hell Peak') is a granite mountain peak located near Bunes beach in Moskenes Municipality in Lofoten, Norway. It is located within the Lofotodden National Park.[1][2] It is known for the 602-metre (1,975 ft) high climbing route on the west facing vertical cliff.[3]
Most hikers summit it through the south side ridge which requires scrambling along a narrow ridge at the top.[4] Once at the peak, hikers can view the Norwegian sea to the west, the isolated white sandy beach of Bunestranda below,[1] and Kierkefjorden to the south.
