Glittertind, also known as Glittertinden, is a majestic mountain in Lom municipality, Norway. It is the second highest mountain in Norway, towering at 2,452 meters high. Located in the Jotunheimen massif within the Jotunheimen National Park, Glittertind is surrounded by several other notable mountains.
