Glittertind is the second highest mountain in Norway, at 2464 m above sea level, including the glacier at its peak (without the glacier, its 2452 m). It is located within the municipality of Lom, in the Jotunheimen mountain area. Glittertind has earlier been a challenger for the title as the highest mountain in Norway, as some measurments showed Glittertind including the glacier was slightly higher than Galdhøpiggen. The glacier has, however, shrunk in recent years, and the dispute has been settled in Galdhøpiggen's favour. The summit of Glittertind was reached for the first time in 1841 by Wergeland and Sletten.
