Skårasalen is a mountain in the municipality of Ørsta in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 1,542-metre (5,059 ft) tall mountain has the seventh largest prominence (1,390 metres or 4,560 feet) of all mountains in Norway. The mountain is located about 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of the village of Sæbø and the Bondalen valley in the Hjørundfjord area of Ørsta. The nearby mountain, Jakta, lies directly to the east on the opposite side of the fjord.

Skårasalen lies within the Sunnmørsalpene mountain range along the southern shores of the Hjørundfjorden. Access is easiest from the Kvistad valley on the western side. An alternative descent for skiing is a steep route straight down to the fjord on the eastern side, and then to return via a hired boat.^[1]
