Gaustatoppen is the highest mountain in the county (Fylke) Telemark. The area belongs to the municipality of Tinn. The view from the top is fantastic. You can see an area of approximately 60,000 km². There is an elevator system inside the mountain, built for military purposes, that lately has become accessible to the public. This ascends from the base of the mountain almost to the top.

The mountain raises 1883 metres over the sea level. Near the top lies the Gaustahytta with a café open to the public during the tourist season.
