Storronden is a mountain in Sel Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 2138m (7,014feet) tall mountain is located in the Rondane mountains within Rondane National Park. The mountain sits about northeast of the town of Otta.

Name

The first element is stor which means 'large' or 'big'. The last part of the name comes from the words Norwegian: rond which was probably the original name of the nearby lake Rondvatnet. Many of the mountains near the lake were then named after this lake. The Old Norse form of the name was Norse, Old: rǫnd which means 'stripe' or 'edge' (referring to the long and narrow form of the lake).
