Tjønnholstinden or Tjørnholstind is a mountain in Vågå municipality, Norway. The 2,331 meter (7,648 ft) mountain is located in the Jotunheimen Mountains in the Jotunheimen National Park. The mountain is about 50 kilometers (31 mi) southwest of the village of Vågåm and about 25 kilometers (16 mi) northwest of the village of Beitostølen. The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains, including Bukkehåmåren, Høgdebrotet and Eggi to the northeast, Rasletinden to the southeast, Tjønnholsoksle to the south.
The mountain lies south of Lake Gjende and north of Leirungsdalen valley. On the north side of the mountain is a 400 meter (1,300 ft) vertical drop down to the Nordre Tjønnholet glacier. The mountain has two peaks with a narrow ridge between them. The western peak is the highest at 2,331 meters (7,648 ft) and the lower eastern peak at 2,318 m (7,605 ft). The lower eastern peak is named Steinflytind. The mountain and both peaks are easily accessible from both the west and east.
The name of the gorge is a compound from tjønn, meaning “bleak” or “small lake”, and the finite form hol, meaning “hole”, “ravine” or “gorge”. There are actually two gorges here named Tjønnholet: Nørdre Tjønnholet north of the peak and Søre Tjønnholet south of the peak.
