Bitihorn (local pronunciation: [ˈbîːtɪhœdn̩]) is a mountain on the border of Vang Municipality and Øystre Slidre Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 1,608-metre (5,276 ft) tall mountain is located in the Jotunheimen mountains about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northwest of the village of Beitostølen. The mountain is surrounded by several other notable mountains including Rasletind and Raslet to the north, Gråhøi and Kvernhøi to the northeast, and Skaget to the east.[1] It is situated on the west side of Norwegian County Road 51, and because of its location, it is a landmark for tourists following that popular driving route.
