Veobreahesten

Veobreahesten is the 61st highest mountain in Norway. It is located in Lom Municipality in Innlandet county. The tall mountain is in the Jotunheimen mountains within Jotunheimen National Park. The mountain sits about south of the village of Fossbergom and about southwest of the village of Vågåmo. The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Spiterhøe and Skauthøe to the northwest; Steinbukampen and Veopallan to the northeast; Veotinden, Veobreatinden, Austre Memurutinden to the southeast; Store Memurutinden to the south; and Leirhøi to the southwest.
The mountain was first climbed to the peak in 1949, making it the last of the Norwegian peaks higher than to be climbed. The mountain is a nunatak standing in the middle of the glacier under the neighboring mountain Leirhøi. Its late ascent is due to this remote location, and the rather challenging approach.
