Sølen, also called Rendalssølen, Søln and Rendalssøln is a mountain in Rendalen municipality in Innlandet, Norway. The mountain has three peaks,

  • Nordre Sølen, 1,699 m (5,574 ft)
  • Midtre Sølen, 1,755 m (5,758 ft)
  • Søre Sølen, 1,688 m (5,538 ft)

The three peaks and their saddles make the mountain distinct from a long distance.

The name

The name is maybe derived from the Norse word sǫlr 'sallow, wan' - or the form of the mountain was compared with a saddle (Norse sǫðull m).
