Norra Storfjället
Norra Storfjället is a mountain range located in the county of Västerbotten, in Laponie Sweden. The mountain range is, for the most part, located within Vindelfjällens Nature Reserve. It reaches a maximum height of 1,768 m (5,801 ft) at the peak known as Norra Sytertoppen.[1] Other peaks include Måskostjakke (1,690 m (5,540 ft)) and Södra Sytertoppen (1,685 m (5,528 ft)).[1] It is divided approximately in half by a deep valley, the valley of Syterskalet/Viterskalet. This U-shaped valley is one of the renowned natural icons of the reserve and is remarkably similar to the Lapporten located 700 km (430 mi) to the north. A ski area lies on the southeast side of the massif, near Hemavan.
