Norra Storfjället is a minor sub-range of the Scandinavian Mountains, located in the county of Västerbotten, in Lapland, Sweden. It is, for the most part, located within Vindelfjällen 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, similar to Lapporten in northern Lapland, is one of the natural landmarks of the reserve. A ski resort is located at Hemavan in the southwest of the area.
