Helvetestinden (lit. Hell Peak) is a granite mountain peak located near Bunes beach, municipality of Moskenes, in Lofoten, Norway.[1][2] It is known for the 602 m 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.
