Store Trolltind is the highest point along the Trolltindane ridge. It has the vertical Trollveggen cliff separating the peak from the Romsdalen valley below, a drop of about 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) which makes it the highest vertical cliff in Europe. The Rauma River and the E136 highway lie 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east in the valley. The Trollryggen peak is located about 700 metres (2,300 ft) to the south.^[2]

The easiest access to the summit is by walking from the parking lot at Trollstigen about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the southwest. Directly beneath the summit, one might prefer a rope for securing the last climb.
