The 2,114-metre (6,936 ft) tall mountain lies inside Rondane National Park in the northeastern part of the Rondane mountain range.

Norwegian County Road 27 passes by the mountain to the east.[1]
Name
The first element is høg which means 'high' or 'tall'. The last part of the name comes from the word 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 rǫnd which means 'stripe' or 'edge' (referring to the long and narrow form of the lake).
