Kvitegga is the highest mountain in the Sunnmørsalpene mountain range. It offers a very wide view, from Galdhøpiggen in the southeast (just jutting above the Sikilbreen glacier), to the impressing Hurrungane mountains further to the southeast, as well as all the local alpine surroundings and a wide swath of the ocean in the west.[1]
