Trollhøtta or Trollhetta is a mountain on the border of Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal counties in Norway. The 1,616-metre (5,302 ft) tall mountain is located on the border of the municipalities of Surnadal (in Møre og Romsdal) and Rindal (in Trøndelag).

The mountain has three peaks: the eastern peak is 1,522 metres (4,993 ft) tall, the north one is 1,596 metres (5,236 ft) and the south one is 1,616 metres (5,302 ft). You can access all three peaks during the summer, but a sharp and steep ridge between the eastern and northern peak is problematic in the winter for access from the east. The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association has a cabin, Trollheimshytta, near the foot of the northern peak. In the east, there is the cabin Jøldalshytta.[2]
