Hallingskarvet is a mountain range in southern Norway stretching from Geilo to Finse. The highest point is the 1,933-metre (6,342 ft) tall mountain Folarskardnuten, the highest point in Buskerud county.

In the north, there is a large dammed lake called Strandavatnet. The Bergensbanen railway line, which runs south of Hallingskarvet, has its highest stop at Finse Station (1,222 m).[1]

In 2006, the Hallingskarvet mountain range became part of the Hallingskarvet National Park.
