Surtningssue (or Surtningssui) is the seventh highest mountain in Norway. It lies in Jotunheimen, on the border between the municipalities Lom and Vågå. Surtningssue has several distinct peaks, of which Store Surtningssue is the highest.
Surtningssue is most easily reached from the cabin Memurubu, along the northern shore of Gjendin.
The name
The first element is the genitive of a word *surtning 'the black one', the last element is the finite form of su f 'sow' - thus 'the black sow'. (It is common in Norway to compare the shape of mountains with animals.)
